Folding bicycles on Netherlands trains
I read that, if you want to take your bicycle on a train in the Netherlands, you must buy ticket for it and, during rush hours, you aren't allowed to take it on the train.
However, folding bicycles don't require a ticket. Does the rush-hour rule also apply to folding bicycles? Or, is it considered to be luggage, so that you are allowed to take them on the train at anytime?
