I travelled to Munich to go on holiday. It was the cheapest trip with the best value for money. I also had my bike with me. It all worked very well. The train attendant was very nice. We left at around 8.00 am and arrived at 2.00 pm without any delays. The journey was very comfortable with plenty of space, the train and toilets were very clean and the wifi worked most of the time. The service staff was also very nice, because a ticket cost about 50 €, I found it very fair.
