Bikes
Anyone ever fit a bike in an RV? I could get my full size mountain bike in my Lancair 360 by taking the wheels off and putting the derailor in the hat shelf.
Any ideas? Folding bikes that work?
Thanks
Tom

This gets discussed quite often - search for “Bikes” or “Bike” or “Bicycle” and I bet you get enough reading for a couple of evenings....

Don't forget motorized scooters also seem to be popular as well.

I got a full sized mountain bike into my 9A. No room for a passenger but a fair bit of room for baggage. I removed the passenger seat back and the wheels, seat and pedals of the bike. It was OK as a one off but would not want to have to do it regularly.

Read some of Scott Chastain's threads here. He often travels cross-country with a bike, and supplies a lot of photos. Interesting threads, too.

HEY! On another biking note, if anyone wants to MTB USA’s #1 Trail let me know. I can help with ground transport, bike rental and a trail guide (me).

You could land and camp at 00S but take off your wheel pants. Or meet me at a paved strip between Aurora and there...Monday’s are best for me and the Trail is quiet.

An expensive option is a Brompton. Excellent quality but at a price. It was the only folding bike I could find that will fit in the rear seat of my -8. I would also investigate some of the new electric boards or scooters.

DEFINITELY! Can't say when, but someday I may take you up on that.

It sure helps to know which RV you're interested in.
As Paul said, search to your hearts content.
In my case, a -7A, it will take a good-sized load and, with a little creativity and maybe some disassembly, you'll get your bike inside the plane. I've flown with the following bikes: Brompton (2 will fit in the baggage area), Dahon MuP8, Montague (any model) and Rans V-Rex recumbent (with the wheels and seat removed).
