If the bottom of your fork - to the top of your bar is < 30" and you can lower your seatpost, it certainly will fit. Given that, you could actually squeeze 3 bikes in there.
Of course you must only attempt this with a Cannondale ;-) (j/k). |

| yep. . . | Stick
May 31, 2003 6:38 AM | | but, like Hollywood, I usually just put one in w/ the rear seats folded down flat. Bike fits easily that way, w/ room to spare and without removing the front wheel. Standing it up fork-mount style isn't really practical (for me anyway) because I don't use a quick release seat clamp and I don't want to bother with lowering or removing it then reinstalling, etc.
But really, the beauty of those wagons lies not only in the interior cargo room, but in the length of the roof. Why put one bike inside when you can put 4 (or 8!) outside?
posted that a year and a half ago. wagon is up to 205,000 mi and still running great. |

Why bother with the fork thing? Just lay the bike down. |
