uhm... where'd you get that?

Very nice, my favorite car was my 2000 civic ex, I should have never of sold it, but needed a four door, easier to get the baby in and out of her carseat.

The best car is a truck. If you need 4 doors, a toyota or nissan crew cab with a short bed for bikes is perfect. I have the nissan frontier crew cab 4x4 and love it. If you don't need the doors, a single cab pickup (japanese) with a bed is about as practical as it gets. Those 4bangers get great mileage...or get the 6 if you need it. You also have the option of adding a topper/camper.

And you can get Nissan Kwality!

A van keeps the bikes out of the weather... with all the passenger room.

Thanks for the comments.

I prefer the Honda Odyssey. I can carry my bike upright in the back with the rear seat down. Plus lots of room for my gear.

This started life as a Ford 5.0l HO. Now it's a little different...

We used to have an Odyssey and it was a great vehicle to travel with gear. We took it on a week long camping and cycling trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway with kids and all sorts of ancillary crap. Plenty of room. I was at the Toyota dealer this morning and they had base models of the Sienna for $22.5K. That's a lot of car for that.

You're right (cough, hack) it's brutal living in the Hudson Valley surrounded by all this natural beauty one hour from the greatest city on the planet. We manage somehow between Broadway shows, sports and all the (yawn) non-stop activity. And it just kills the city bike racers, especially the guys over 40, one of whom took the sprint on the local fast guy ride on Sunday beating 6 of the West Point cycling team 20ish studs. It must be (hack) that city air.

You're right there ARE bike messengers in 'major' cities. So how does that explain their presence in Columbus, Ohio, population 711,470 as of the 2000 census. No knock on Columbus or anything, but that's 'major'? Sorry. NY is 'major'. SF is 'major'. Chicago is 'major'. I'm astonished to hear that it's efficient to delivery packages in Columbus by bicycle. Apparently.

By the way you're welcome to come here on any Sunday and we'll see who you crush : ).

You mean save the polar cap
save the planet make more ice
If they just send my X to the polar cap nothing would melt that chick is cold
If it were up to me I would color all the snow yellow and then no one would eat it.
Save the polar cap and kill a snow man.
eliminate global warming let snow men and women pro create

You'll all forgive the shameless advertising and promotion here, but when I tell it's free, then maybe it isn't that much of a transgression.

If cars remotely interest you (and seeing that this thread is many, many pages long it would seem that riders are interested....), then you need to check-out the magazine we're publishing: Winding Road. No strings attached, it's really free (unless you consider providing your email address a payment) and it's edited by the gentleman that launched Automobile and put Car and Driver on the map. Go to: www.windingroad.com and once you've registered, you can hit the 'read new issue' button on the navigation bar across the top and be prepared to be amazed. I'm partial, but it's that good. AND, it's run by a fellow rider and forum member!

Now, how about we do a cycling magazine too???

The way it's suppose to look


(After 30 miles or so in heavy rain. Couldn't see the license plate when I had finished)


Going to sell it though and get a f-250, r33 skyline, or a STi wagon. (best friend imports skylines for a living) More practical and ready for a change.

Btw... good choice on the outback. I'd love to get myself a Legacy spec b.

I'm surprised the grammar cops haven't busted you for that one.

Here's mine, 1967 MGB. Restoration is considerably further along than this old picture from a couple of year back....

Here is a sweet setup:

-my original intended bike hauler, to bad it never got around to getting finished, instead is now just a lawn ornament:
here it is w/ air suspension deflated:


-my new bike hauler, 92 VX civic hatchback, 54 mpg, NOT a hybrid, cost under 3000$, bike fits in back with the seat folded down. can't beat it

Hold the seat down i can get 1 bike in.

Don't have an image of mine, but it's basically this one minus ugly purple flames. Just plane white. I want to re-paint it, but keep blowing all my money on my bike!

I also have this (again no picture of my own), only in dark blue. Usually I drive this around.

jimples

The rest of you are probably disappointed that it's not a Subaru. In any case, I can fit a bike in the trunk with both wheels off or with the rear seats down and the wheels still on. 200 horsepower from a turbo 4 mated to a 6-speed DSG transmission. EPA rated for 25 city / 32 highway. Sweet.
