At brand X we have a bike club that you can join and there are bikes scattered across the system in our layover hotels. They aren't your 15lb titanium Dura-Ace sleds but they are adequate.
Also, jumpseating with a bike is not allowed but you can bring a girl-friday case along and no one cares EXCEPT when you max out the transpo's trunk space. I know a couple of guys who go on trips with their bike cases and it's no big deal but they tend to travel light, ie. bike case and small roller.
I've seen guys travel with bike cases, travel type golf cases, the BIG golf case, keyboards, guitars, surfboards, metal detectors, etc... but it can be a b!tch being a pack animal on a 10 day trip when your only surfing was 6 days ago for one day at Waikiki. You look pretty stoopid in Almaty with surfboard (would probably get a pee test just on principle).
