Well, you may think it's crazy because people think that Europe is a reality, but to take a bike in one of the European countries to another one can be a real mess for the papers. Yeah I can take my car and a trailor and in the afternoom go and fetch a bike in Italy with nobody at the frontier even asking any question. But it can take month to succeed to get papers for riding it on a french road... if it works.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not, because the technical rules are different from country to country, with administration jealous for their power over citizens. We get crazy with this here : Europe is only for big corporations, not for citizens.
