No pics with the bike in just yet (we just had a big snowstorm here in New England - bikes are sadly back on the trainers in the basement...). Thought I would share a couple pics of the new bike hauler in the meantime, though.Originally Posted by silver

Oh, and I LOVE the way it rides! Very comfy...

Nice color.
I can't believe an 8 ft tandem fits back there! wow.
This is what I worked on half the day yesterday. It's for our trip to Oregon. I probably wouldn't use it on a regular day. The bikes fit fine with the wheels on and I don't mind them moving around on short trips. I'm making a canvas bag to hold the front wheels, which I will hang from a hook on the side, but now I've got them velcro-strapped to their bikes. It's surprisingly stable. The attachments are called blockheads, from Yakima, in case someone asks.
Today is a dry run for our trip, while go to Little Rock for a few days. I'm having some concerns about the board sliding around, so I've got rug grippers under the feet. I took the left seat out altogether (simple), although I think they would have fit. The wheels would not be able to hang up, though.

Only with the second row seats out, and turning the front wheel to a 90 degree angle with the frame - but it DOES fit. If the snow ever goes away here, I will put the TT tandem (it's longer) in and take a pic to show you... Originally Posted by Tuckervill

And I like the color of your car too

Nice job on the rack for the Element, BTW - we have a VERY similar rack that we use in the bed of the pick up, and will likely use in the Sienna now as well. That was going to be my choice for a new car, but the tandem wouldn't fit
