Once, I saw a guy whose bike didn't quite fit into the trunk of his car, but he crammed it in as best he could and secured it with some kind of heavy duty elastic netting. I wish I had asked him how it worked. I'd like to find an easy way to transport my bike intact without buying a rack or a new car, since mine is paid off.
Is this even possible?
OB - I suggest
investing in a trunk mount rack. Easy to use and not very expensive. Performance bike has one of their
house brand trunk racks on sale for $40.
If you really want to shove your bike in the trunk, put it in best you can and secure the trunk w/ $.99 bungee cords. I used to do this w/ a Honda Civic. But, if you think taking the wheels off the bike is a pain, this is just as much of a hassle. With a rack, you just lift the bike off the ground a foot or two and slide on the rack.
