Step 1.Wash mountain bike,let air dry.
Step 2.Photograph mountain bike,then down load,and print.
Step 3.Place mountain bike picture in car.
Step 4.Your mission is now complete.

Remove the wheels and seat. Should slip right into that big truck without even folding the rear seats down.
Your m-bike does have quick releases on those parts doesn't it?????????????????

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Last Saturday, I took the font wheel off and was able to fit it in the trunk with the second row seats down. Althought it took some time to squeeze it in and in the process scratched the bumper a little bit, but i had fun biking.

I saw some bike carriers on craigslist for $20, I might buy it depending on how often i will go biking...

I take it that this was a trunk rack? Go ahead and get it if you don't bike very much, and if you don't care about your car or your bike too much because they scratch your car like crazy, and I've seen plenty of those things fail.

they don't fall, when you see them fall cuz people are dumb enough not to know how to put them on properly. if they fall nobody will buy them. period.

but i agree with you they do make scratches on your car if you make a mistake putting them on incorrectly. mostly is actually the bikes causing the scratches when you put them on and off so you have to be careful.

That's GR8.

I fit a Little Giant ladder in mine, but no where near 8ft.

I bought and installed a small, light weight 1 1/4 inch receiver. It was designed for attaching to my 3-door Yaris...no drilling, just inserting and tightening some bolts. Not designed for towing...but my 1 1/4inch bike rack attaches easily. The receiver can handle the weight of two bikes.
Easier to use than trying to disassemble/reassemble my bikes, once receiver was installed.

As a matter of fact, I am currently selling my folding bicycle;

If you hop on your local craigslist, I'm sure you can find some folding bicycles for sale near you.

For non-folding bicycles, I usually use a bike rack.

I just got my windshield replaced. As I already have a Montague folding mountain bike for the airplane, I brought it along, it was great to be able to take off and do other things while the glass guy did his thing. Two Montagues would fit inside I think, at least in mine, with no rear seat or spare. Carrying it inside of course doesn't create any extra drag.
