I was thinking of the Pomferrada to Santiago
Is there connecting transport between any of the stages?
I am very uncertain, but I think that bikes might be allowed on some trains. You should check it out before eliminating that option.I wasn't allowed bike on train.

the guy said I would be allowed to take the bike from Lugo but not Sarria
Yes they are - the local commuter trains; and if you make advance arrangements certain of the media distance trains have a cargo area. I had to wait 3-5 hours in Sahagun for a train to Leon that accepted my bike.I am very uncertain, but I think that bikes might be allowed on some trains.

Wow It hard to believe that an 8 and 9 y.o. would want to put themselves through such a challenge. I have seen fit thirty y.o. struggle (as in Walking) on top of range MTB's on using Camino on wet days.I am looking for advice on cycling the Camino with an 8 and 9 year old, they can cycle around 20 km on Country lanes at the moment, which route and sections would be best and the most interesting for the off time. I was thinking of the Pomferrada to Santiago section but am open to advice.

Hi Saint Mike , do you know if the ALSA buses take bikes (complete not dismantled) from Santiago, cheersYes they are - the local commuter trains; and if you make advance arrangements certain of the media distance trains have a cargo area.

From memory none of the AVE trains allow bikes. I know that for me, at the finish of my Camino, it was easier to arrange road transport back to Madrid - one of the cycle shops in SDC arranged.
The ALSA buses will normally allow bikes - again with advance notice - a fee may be charged (a couple of Euros) - but if there are already two bikes in the cargo hold then no more bikes are permitted. Oh and the do not refund the bike ticket fee!!??
