What SUV do you tote your bikes in???

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I went from SUV to wagon and couldn't be happier.

No personality disorder required. My road bike fits with the front wheel removed.

I will check out Mercedes. BMW quit importing 5 series wagons and the 3 series are a little small. It looks like MBZ still imports the "E" wagons. It would be great if they made it in a diesel.

SUV? REALLY??

I'm a Jeeper

Toss the bike in the back with some it sticking out. Works great.

Stupid SUV's. For the same price you can get a used Porsche 911. My bike fits in the back seat. ( 1983 SC) Wheels in the front trunk. Start living .. For two bikes a roof rack is only a little higher than loading into a truck bed. Same dif & way more sexy.
Do it.

Ford Edge. Son gave me a good idea, front wheel off two bikes, one right side up other upside down. I always have a moving blanket in the back, use this to seperate the bikes. This all fits in the back with the second row up.

My bike wouldn't fit in the back of a 911. I had a hard time fitting my bike in the back seat of a 5 series BMW. I like Porsches but I have reach a point where I want a car that is cheap to maintain.
