I've used done it that way, FYI your interior will get scratched, because of the metal parts of the bike moving and pressing onto the plastic surface of the car. The fork also may puncture the textile of the back surface of the front 2 seats Remember to bring come cardboard, or other compressible material.
Also add some rope to the front and back to attach it firmly. It reduces the scratching and has the bonus effect of preventing the bike from flying around dangerously when you're involved in a car accident.
My Mountain bike fits into the back of my VW Golf (seats folded flat and passenger seat slightly forward) without removing a wheel. I find it easiest to put the back wheel in first (about half way) then lower it down until the tyre rests on a sheet or blanket then slide the bike fully in on the sheet/blanket until the rear wheel just touches the rear of the passenger seat. Then angle the handlebars to allow the boot lid to close. This gives minimal loading on my back and no scratches to the car. I'm hoping to use the same technique when I buy an electric bike, obviously the bike will be heavier but maybe if I remove the battery first it might work.
You should also attach it tightly to several solid anchor points so that it doesn't crush your skull if you are involved in a car accident. If you get a hard impact the bike will just be a heavy uncontrolled object flying through the cabin. All your great skilled and careful driving won't save you when some other car has a mechanical failure and rams into yours.
Being putting my 56cm road bike into Renault Clio for year’s although I have always put rear wheel in first, front passenger seat needs to be fully forward, then place blanket on top of the bike and front wheel placed on the blanket.
You dont need to remove the front wheel. 1. Just put your bike from the rightside back door 2. Once the bike is abt 80% in the car, lift the front wheel up a bit, make sure your front wheel attached to the inside left rear door. 3. Turn the handle 45° to the left. 4. Shove the back wheel into the car. Step 3 and 4, need to adjust accordingly.
I have an hyundai i10, this morning after great struggle I managed to keep my bicycle inside the car 🚗 and of course after detaching the front wheel. Perhaps this won't be convenient everyday.
I’m trying to figure out how to fit my bike in my parents car or 5 people and luggage and my bike and sleep room for my damn sisters 12 hour drive to Virginia and all I do is ride I wanna bring it so badly cause we’re staying for 2 weeks HELP how can I get a mountain bike to fit in a Honda Odyssey with all the seats up please help
Hmmm yes there is a risk of that. A smart idea is to keep a blanket or something in the back of your car. That way when you put the bike into to the back, you can use a blanket to cover the bits that might scratch the car. I know it can be tricky getting it in with bashing against something!
***** The ‘probationary’ plates or P plates as they are commonly referred to allow other vehicles on the road to acknowledge that a driver has only just passed the practical driving test and although technically they should be up to test standard, they should be provided with extra time and space in the course of driving to allow for any mistakes made.
Amm how/why are you watching it yourself? I wanted to buy a bike and wanted to know if it will fit inside my car and if someone else actually tried it.
When i purchased my bike new the dude from the store helped me out chucking into my car.. however they failed to use a spacer. That was a good tip.. the rest yeh pretty self explanatory
"ah, there's the front wheel"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you own a Smart car, you can carry it on your bike.
Hahahaha :'-)
Can’t believe I searched this. Wasn’t expecting over 400k people to do the same. I feel better.
Haha don't worry Ariyal - you're not the only one by a long-shot clearly!
Ohhh, so that's how ya fit a boicycle into ya cahh.
Yeaaaah maaaaaate hahahaha

I'm getting back into cycling after a 4 year break. This video helps. I don't want to buy a rack for the roof of my car.
if you're a mtb rider get a plastic tarpaulin to lay it on. keeps the mud off. cost about £2 from wilko
Tried this here in the states, and I can't find the steering wheel on the right hand side of the car.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guess you need an import car from UK or Japan.

+Benoit Lai Chin Kon That's good advice! Always handy to have a soft blanket or similar in the boot for this purpose.

I did this today- and hey this will save money buying a bike rack

If you have leather interior, especially light colors, do not put tires up against them in the back seats, the rubber can transfer into the leather.
Tomorrow morning i have the the challenge to put my 29" mountain bike in a Fiat 500
Vittorio Atzeni did it fit????
+Vittorio Atzeni I'm curious too, with the front wheel off. Did it fit?
5 years later and I still wonder at night did his bike fit....
Did the bike fit after you remove both wheels?
You’ve made this look so easy 😂Yet I’m still struggling to put my road bike in my Q5
Lol! You got this.
Fitted 2 mountain bikes (small adult ones) and 2 adults in a 2000 Yaris!
Wow that's impressive!
I have small civic, and I can put large bicycle in, it is not hard at all. No need to take wheel off too.
Being putting my 56cm road bike into Renault Clio for year’s although I have always put rear wheel in first, front passenger seat needs to be fully forward, then place blanket on top of the bike and front wheel placed on the blanket.
Impressive!
I like the filmmakers choice of background.
That’s the lovely back wall of our store in Heidelberg 😅
this guy is a genius.
Works great for cars with driver side on the right. For US cars however, it looks like the drivers head will be banging into the fork.
Thanks. This helps a lot.
This is wonderfull. thank you! not that i dont had the idea.. but now i can see that it will work :)
hatchback, but try fitting it into a small four door car
You dont need to remove the front wheel.
1. Just put your bike from the rightside back door
2. Once the bike is abt 80% in the car, lift the front wheel up a bit, make sure your front wheel attached to the inside left rear door.
3. Turn the handle 45° to the left.
4. Shove the back wheel into the car.
Step 3 and 4, need to adjust accordingly.
Next is a video on how to stop the fork stabbing you in the face on left hand bends?
Have a 2017 Civic Si Sedan. Looks like an easy fit for me.
Nice. Let us know how you go :-)
Now do the sedan version
If I can fit my carbon road bike into a Honda Civic, you can DEFINITELY fit it into a hatchback lol.
great tip
I hate taking the wheels off and adjusting, I’ll just put the passenger leaned back with the back seats folded
You can also just use a blanket to cover the back seats and front seats from behind to keep ur car clean.
Very true!
I have an hyundai i10, this morning after great struggle I managed to keep my bicycle inside the car 🚗 and of course after detaching the front wheel. Perhaps this won't be convenient everyday.
Hurrah! At least you got it in haha
I'm too weak to even lift my bike up and into the boot Haha!
Well, that certainly poses a problem... hahaha. Ummmm pulley system maybe?
steel riders be like
What about after ride when bike is covered in mud and horse shite from the trails :D
Use a moving blanket.
You should always have a bike rack/mount, when you need space in the car or the bike is dirty then place the bike on the rack..
you should have put the rear wheel in first it would have rolled in then out
the rear of bike is heavier so its easier on your back if the rear goes in last
Legend! cheers mate
but what if you've misplaced your car key? by the way i only have motorbikes so where would i put my new bicycle?
Then you're gonna need more than a TH-cam video! hahaha
Nice mate thanks
i want to fit my bike before i purchase it
Can you put the bike upside down?
I’m trying to figure out how to fit my bike in my parents car or 5 people and luggage and my bike and sleep room for my damn sisters 12 hour drive to Virginia and all I do is ride I wanna bring it so badly cause we’re staying for 2 weeks HELP how can I get a mountain bike to fit in a Honda Odyssey with all the seats up please help
Sounds like you really need to invest in a roof rack! That’s a lot of things to fit inside the car...
Just hope you don't crash!
Us too... :-)
My car is Suzuki Celerio and my bike is a 20' Bmx, still don't fit 😲😑🤒
I got it fitted, it's the small angles that you have to look for, Thanks!
Well that certainly makes it tricky...
Ty!
You're welcome!
Why is this video upside down
Uhhhh not sure? It's the right way up on our end? haha
There are two ways you can do this: the proper way and the wrong way.
You just showed how to do it properly.
Cheers.
Nice one!
Name of cycle , where to buy this...
We're a bike shop based in Melbourne, Australia.
What if back seats don’t fold down???
Then it's going to be a very tight squeeze...
I attempted to do that and I ended up scratching the interior of my car :(
Hmmm yes there is a risk of that. A smart idea is to keep a blanket or something in the back of your car. That way when you put the bike into to the back, you can use a blanket to cover the bits that might scratch the car. I know it can be tricky getting it in with bashing against something!
Ah there's ma front wheel mate.
hahaha
But, can you fit 2 in there?
Hmmmm might be a bit of a stretch in that little Barina.... I guess with a towel to protect the bikes you could.... haha
What's that silly "P" on the back windshield for?

Oliver Fergusson-Taylor
Interesting. Thanks
I was expecting put a bike in the car without sacrifying any passenger seats, that could be done on my Toyota Wish
Australian people r so smart
We think so... hahahaha
Phänomenal
What type of car is it
That's a little Holden Barina
@@IvanhoeCycles otherwise known as the Chevy Sonic in the states.
it's a Chevrolet Aveo to everyone outside Oz. Also an EXTREMELY unsafe car, don't buy one.
whats the obsession with disc brake spacers in the MTB industry? if you accidentally pull the brake lever, just pry the pads apart with a flat head...
True that...
i can easily fit my fixie on my fiend's prius without removing the tire
How to put a bike in your car, fold it in half and drop the Handel.......it's called a folding bike done and done😂
Lol yes that it also an extremely viable option!
That is perfect when your bike has not a single speck of dirt on it
Ha! And since when is that ever the case. I guess that's where you get crafty with always having some towels/blankets in the boot just in case.
@@IvanhoeCycles Fair play :)
Next video: How to fit Your Car in Your bike......
Why not take the back wheel off too and then put in the car.
You could if you really needed to. But it's more work to remove both when you can get away with just doing the one I guess
just get a bike rack
not safe
That car is huge compared to my car, that car is like a freaking limousine compared to my car.
nice car beta
1:31
Hehehe
Could buy a bigger car
If you honestly needed to watch this video to get your bike in your car you shouldn't be riding or driving anything!
+Alcyone94 each to their own. It's good that you don't need the video to have worked it out :-)
Amm how/why are you watching it yourself? I wanted to buy a bike and wanted to know if it will fit inside my car and if someone else actually tried it.

I came for the Aussie accent 🥰
Do you think your bit old to be a P plater.
Why do you assume it's his car? Pretty sure a professional bike mechanic is not going to drive a tiny Holden Barina... lol he's got a ute of course.
This is a useless hack nectar it assumes all bike owners drive freaking hatchbacks. Let us see you load it into a 4 door Camry. 🤣
This is so much work though lol
Haha yes well I suppose buying a rack is probably easier... just more expensive :-P
Blimmy.
