For someone who has wants to commute with a combination of bike and

How would that help? If you can't comfortably get one bike on a train, having
a second in another place isn't going to change anything.

I think you're missing suggestion:

Initial state:
You - at home
Bike 1 - at home
Bike 2 - at desination station.

Then cycle to home station using bike 1, state becomes:

You - at home statiom
Bike 1 - at home station
Bike 2 - at destintion station

Then get the train, state becomes:

You - at destination station
Bike 1 - at home station
Bike 2 - at desintation station

Then cycle to work using bike 2.

You - at work
Bike 1 - at home station
Bike 2 - at work.


.... now follow through your trip home in the same fashion and you'll
find you get back to the initial state, ready to repeat the whole
thing the next day.

If you want the option of sometimes skipping the train ride and
cycling the whole way then you do indeed end up with bikes in the
wrong place - unless you adopt the rule that if you cycle the whole
way for one journey then you must also do so for the next journey.
