My plane bike
I just cut up an old MTB that I scored at the dump to put in the back of my Cessna.
Coaster brake and front brake gives me no cables front to rear.

BTW, that's a clever "breakapart" solution. The price was right, too.
I bought a Brompton M6L folder to carry with me in my 172. Same problem, different solution ($$$$).

When I read "plane bike" , I got excited. Then I opened the topic ...
I think I had a different concept in mind.

Very nice 
the only thing I flew (and hope to fly a bit more come summer) is a twin seat glider... no space in the back for bikes!

I just added a bicycle drive to my plane.

my veterinarian has a '68 beech bonanza and a '72 honda ct90. he had a guy saw the down tube in 2 and weld in a hinge so it could fold and go in the luggage door. so well done, it looked factory, paint and all.
like, totally voided the bike's warranty!
the bike's handlebar had a hand clamp (factory) so the bar could pivot sideways. and the mirrors unscrewed by hand.

Rodney, that's cheating; it's gotta be a bicycle, not a motorcycle.
