Does anyone know of or use a folding bike that will fit in the baggage compartment? if so what make, I'd like to pick two up for my wife and I to use during day trips. Thus far all the styles I've checked into seem to be to large. Thanks in advance. |

This was discussed in the Cessna 140 forum I belong to. These bikes fit in the 140 with the hat shelf removed. http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp? ... duct_id=10 http://www.bikefriday.com/ Jeff |

We have some Dahon folders. The really good ones, like the Mariner and the Mu are probably too big. I can fit one in my Bellanca Cruisemaster baggage compartment, and some soft bags around it, The other has to go in the back seat. We have a smaller Dahon, which has had several names over the years. It might fit, but the bike is too wobbley and too much work to ride any distance over a mile or two. You might have to get a folder, and then partially disassemble it. http://www.gaerlan.com/dahon/pack.htm The Mariner, I got from a gal who, lives on a boat (go figure) she included the Samsonite luggage, and gave us a quick lesson in disassembly to fit it in. But the luggage was heavy. I crawled into the baggage area to inspect the tail cone and change the battery. It wasn't pretty. Dahon is the most available brand in the Pacific Northwet. I answered Craig s list ads and saved quite a bit. |
