Re: Audi wagons and mountain bikes

Well, I've never done anything like that, but with cars as small as my '86
Honda Civic Si hatchback I used to fold down the rear seats and just lay
the bike in the back on it's side.  My '90 Mazda 626 Touring Sedan GT
is a 4-door + hatch instead of having a trunk.  I don't even have to take
the
front wheel off for that.  Is there some particular reason you don't want
to 
lay it on it's side?
