    Laura: "I got kicked out of the train for not having reservation to take my bicycle."
    Solution: Laura makes a bicycle she can board on the trains without needing reservations.
    Makers are the new solution heroes! Just make whatever is needed.
    God bless! Stay safe and healthy!

    Nice seeing you solve the problem! Slightly cheaper than the Brompton I bought 11 years ago! Like Deutsche Bahn though, you must have met a very cranky train conductor, no heart throwing you off in the middle of the night!!! We traveled in jam-packed trains with bikes and every one been helpful and cheerful.

      DB are _really_ strict. Beyond all common sense.
      I was once on a train in Germany with some Americans. They had bought tickets and printed them at home. The tickets cost more than €200 / $200. The Ticket Inspector made them pay full price again, plus a penalty, because they had printed the tickets on US Letter size not A4 size paper.
      Now, I had noticed that the PDF that you have to print clearly states "print on A4 paper" but there really was no room for doubt that they had paid for valid tickets.
