Vehicle for hauling up to four bikes?

Emily, in your 1st post, you say you want to be able to transport the bikes with front wheels removed? So, the bikes would be standing?
If so, how do you secure them so they don't tip over while driving?
I have an SUV, and I lay my bike in the back, which is fine since I'm single and only have to transport 1 bike. But when the bike is laying down, it takes up the whole back, and I've been trying to figure out how to stand it up, so I can take it on vaca along with luggage, coolers, etc.
Good luck in your car search!

You've never seen these? It's easy to build a bike rack for inside a vehicle by mounting them to a 2x4 or similar. About $18

My DH made one of these to put in the back of his SUV without having to put the rack on the hitch.

I've never seen one of those. I'll have to look around for one.

Yep, what Irulan posted! DH made a rack for the interior of our Element that held four bikes (back/front/back/front) with the fork mount brackets. He also made one for the back of his truck when we had a tandem.

Barring that, I have used a few bungee cords to keep one bike upright without removing the wheel in the back of the Element (when we didn't have the rack with fork-mount thingies). You just wind the bungees around various parts of the bike and then around various parts of the interior of your car. Takes a little experimenting to get right.
