Full size bikes on public transport doesn’t work well when crowded though. I briefly took a bikee recumbent (really small) on BART and it was great for me but pretty annoying for others for 1 stop (sorry if you went between Ashby and Oakland in 2011!)

Even in the Netherlands you need to pay €8.50 to bring your bike on, perhaps so the trains aren’t overrun.
