What small car fits a 55 cm bike in the back easily
On 2007-11-08, Harry 'Snapper' Organ (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: On Wed, 07 Nov 2007 14:41:10 -0800, wrote in aus.bicycle: I am looking to get a new small 5 door car under $20,000 What small car fits a 55 cm bike in the back easily, only having to take the front wheel off? yaris, jazz fiesta getz swift mazda2 I am not sure that it does but you should also look at the Mitsubishi Colt because the rear seats fold right up behind the front seats and presumably leave a lot of room for a bike. I was going to say, do you think they still make the 1981 model? I don't even recall having to take the front wheel off my teenage sized bike. It is also a fairly tall vehicle and very economical (claims 5.5 lit per 100K). I only know because have been looking at the same vehicles I saw a new one recently -- they look ugly. And how can tall still be fuel efficient? Got to punch through the wind more. -- TimC If my head were spinning at relativistic speeds, it would appear to everyone else that my brane had slowed down. -- Dan E. Macs on RHOD |

In the Golf how much room did you have, eg enough for some bags? And was it a 5 door? Also as unbelivable as it sounds i saw 3 full size bikes put in the boot of a commadore, nothing on the backseat. It like i big dismantleing session. too hard i want to be able to push down the seats and throw it in. This post looks strangely familiar. But no more readable thn the last three identical ones.

I usually remove both wheels though as it just gives more space to work with. Travis |

I've heard of a couple of teams (in the US) who routinely carry a TANDEM inside a Honda Jazz (or Fit in their market). Split-fold the rear seat, tilt and push the front passenger seat as far forward as it will go, and apparently a tandem can be fed in. Both wheels off, I assume. The passenger has to sit behind the driver (of course there are two people in the car... it wouldn't make much sense to carry a tandem if there's only you). I've never been or even looked inside one, but the Jazz has a reputation for having extraordinary amounts of room in it for the size of car it is. I'd be very surprised if it didn't have room for a single roadie. Years ago, Mazda used to market the 121 Metro as being able to stand two fully assembled mountain bikes diagonally in the back (with the seat down). I always assumed they were midget sized bikes, but there was a picture on the brochure to verify it. I used to fit my mountain bike with the rear wheel on in the back of my '89 Daihatsu Charade. Or I could drop both wheels, and carry the bike in the back seat. Small cars are much bigger inside than you would think. tim |
