You're right about that. I won't drive it that way. If we want to haul 2+ bikes upright, we remove the seats. It can be hard to store them in the garage, so hubby made a pulley system with ropes to haul them up to the garage ceiling and store them up there. We don't put them back in all that often, b/c it is a pain, but without them, the cargo area is cavernous! I am sure we could get four bikes in upright, though we've never had to.
