How to carry a bicycle? bike rack question

FlashBazbo · 06-01-2009, 06:12 AM

Steve, I ride a 55cm frame. I haven't tried yet (and might not), but I THINK I could get the bike under the hatch with both wheels removed. The width of the bars vs. the width of the crank/pedals might cause a problem, but I'm not sure. I've got wheel bags and could put the wheels in the passenger seat. (I wouldn't want to block the view out the back any more than I have to.)

I have decided that I will use my wife's car for transporting the bicycle. I don't want to risk chain lube stains, scrapes, etc. on the inside of the Z.

Both wheels removed you probably could get the frame in there, but you won't be able to get both wheels in and close the hatch.

Not that you really need to worry about that. Here's a little preview of what will be available for our cars... My Z is pictured.
