They do? Bikes are banned on the commuter services in and out of
Amsterdam. Being largely double-decker, there's no obvious place for
bikes to go.

No, they aren't banned other than in the peaks.

Which tends to rule out use by commuters.

They just go in the vestibule.

Not much room for bikes in the vestibules of the double-deckers.

And you need a six-Euro cycle ticket (twelve-Euro and a compulsory
booking on international trains).

If you want better 1st class, travel from Kings X perhaps?
Meh, the extra time spent getting to King's Cross would negate any
benefit I think, given that I'll be starting my journey at work, which
is spitting distance fro Liverpool St.
Unless something has changed recently, the fastest way to get from Liverpool St to Cambridge is to get the Underground to King's Cross and take the next non-stop train.

I do not optimise for time alone but for a combination of time,
convenience, cost, and comfort. If time was all-important, I'd have just
checked the timetables online.
