Carrying the bike in the back of the car

[Kubla]

I have a Rav4 as well, and also transport my bike inside the car. I always place it on its side (chain-side up), and prefer to set it in the car backwards. It takes me an extra minute or so to position it and back it into place, but taking it out is much easier for me. My rear windows are tinted, but I still cover the bike with a flannel sheet so it isn't so visible. (Hopefully it doesn't look like a body...)
