foldable bike

Good to know !

Never even though that a normal one would fit in there.

Thanks !

Any other suggestions or comments ?



You can fit a normal bike in the back of a Cessna 172 quite easily -
there's quite a lot of space once you pull the front seats forward into
normal 'flying' position. I stuck my standard road bike in the back of
one once. We've also fit two mountain bikes in the back of an S-35
Bonanza. You just need to take the wheels off (quick release wheels are
an obvious advantage here)

I've had 2 old Montegues that have held up well. I'd even used
electric motors (lots more trouble, but fun for beer runs) and a
trailer for camping stuff. It all fits in the back of a Skylane. I
recommend the bags with the bike. I almost got Dahons but saw my
reflection in the window - I looked like a circus bear.

You can fit a trailer in the back of your Skylane!!!

You didn't say where you plan on using bike.

If just on airfield to go to and from plane you can look at the little
electric and gas scooters. Some of them even have seats on so you
don't have to stand up. Will fit in almost any bird except possibly
some of the miniature homebuilts.

Lots advertized on e-bay. Also saw some in Fry's the other day.

Has anyone thought about getting one of these to fit on the backseat of
172 ?
The one I found here : http://www.digitalgiftstore.com/th-367-r.html
is about 45 pounds and 32" X 32" X 34" folded

Any other suggestions or comments ?

Thank you
