Yeah it's a lot to do with the mindset I think. The perceived inconvenience of taking 3 trains and paying more, for me, are outweighed by faaaar lower emissions per person for the entire journey when compared to flying, and, honestly, the slightly masochistic fun factor. I just like trains too.
It's definetely not objectively easier to travel by trains with bikes in bags accross Europe. But I'd rather leave part of my rational persona at home, try to relax, not give a fuck, and put up with sometimes shit but overall fun experience of train travel with a 30kg+ bag.
