Bicycles on trains in Switzerland?

I want to get a jump start into Como from Locarno by taking a train.

I searched on the SSB website and I have a timetable for Locarono to Como via Giubiasco.

The first train has no designation at all regarding bicycles. What does this mean? Are they not allowed or allowed without restriction.

The second train into Como has a VL next to it which means BICYCLES: Self-service loading by sender limited.

What does the limited mean? Do I need to make a reservation for the bicycle? Can I do this at the station right before I leave? Or do I need to make it well in advance?
