Car rack?

[tulip]

I tend to have to put the bike in the car, and then crawl inside to pull it all the way in. It's a little awkward and I probably look pretty funny.

That's how everyone does it. I have a roof rack, but I only use it when I travel with my dog and my bike, or if I carry two bikes. Otherwise, my bike goes in the car (small car, with seats folded down and front wheel removed). I figure it's safer, more fuel efficient, and keeps bugs off my bike.
