Is it acceptable to use en for moto also ?
... Nous allons au travail en moto ?
This question relates to:French lesson "À/en/par + [means of transportation] (French Prepositions)"
Asked 6 years ago
Bonjour Terry,
I learned the use of «en» with modes of transportation was generally associated with things one rode inside of, i.e. plane, train, bus, automobile, bateaux, etc.; however, I noticed this phrase in the examples: Je vais à l'école à vélo. Je vais à l'école en vélo. ---> I'm going to school by bike.
Given that the use of en in the example phrase, it appears to be an acceptable use with moto.
Bonne chance

Wait, I didn't see an example in the lesson using "en moto". Is that correct?
