This is an interesting subject I looked it up for the hi-speed trains
in the Netherlands.

Fyra
No bikes allowed (safety regulations)
A folder in a bag is considered normal luggage

Thalys
Bikes with front wheel removed and in a special bike bag (max. 120x90)
are allowed
A folder in a bag is considered normal luggage

Intercity Brussel
Limited amount of space for bikes.

TGV
Bikes with front wheel removed and in a special bike bag (max. 120x90)
are allowed

Eurostar
Bikes in special bike bag are allowed if not bigger than normal suitcase.
For travellers between Brussel/Paris/Lille and London there is an
option to take your bike as special luggage for €25. They advise to
protect it well and take a good travel insurance, I think this is not
a good sign ;)

ICE International
The NS (Dutch) and DB (German) have different rules for (folding) bikes

Dutch ICE rules:
- With a NS national ticket you are allowed to take a folding bike
without a bag.
- With a international ticket only bagged folders are allowed
- It's allowed to take bikes if the fit in a suitcase not bigger than
85 (they didn't mention other dimensions)

German ICE rules:
- (Folding) bikes are only allowed as luggage if fitted in a bag (max 120 x 90)
