The fronts are so low on those trains though - how did they miss seeing the guy?
Police and the national rail company SNCF were unable to say on Monday whether the 48-year-old man's death was accidental or a suicide.
He was struck by the train on a level crossing in the village of Petit-Croix, near Belfort in eastern France on Sunday, but his body was not discovered until staff and passengers got off at the next stop, in Mulhouse.
"The body was found, stuck to the front right of the train, out of the driver's vision," an SNCF spokesman said, adding that an incident of this kind was "relatively rare".
The remains of the victim's bicycle were recovered by police at the level crossing.
France's TGVs travel at speeds of up to 322 km/h (200 mph) in regular service."
