I can get a road bike in the trunk with the front tire off- with a little bit of work. It sure would be a lot easier if the back seat folded down though.

it really depends on the bike they range in various sizes... I do not think most bikes will fit well. If you use a bike often, I suggest you buy one of those foldable mountain bikes instead of using bike mounts

Both wheels off is the only way to make it fit in trunk.

Thanks for all the advice, I am just getting one for Christmas and was wondering if I was gonna be able to get it home. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go the rack route whether it be roof or trunk.
