Look at picking up the canals to ride into Birmingham, some have good surface and are more pleasant than the busy roads.
I've done Birmingham to London and you can ride it mostly in the lanes without having to do the canals. Roughly Brum->Warwick->Leamington Spa->Silverstone (the village)->Chilterns->High Wycombe->London
Yeah, think it is 4. They go in a separate carriage at the front of the train. Best to double check with the train manager, or driver, just that they are aware of the bikes being aboard and maybe sit in the next car along. Brum can be a tight platform with loaded bikes, the lifts are good however. Marylebone is a more relaxed station.
