hey guys, I'm a big guy, 6'6", got a 21" frame Schwinn Moab 2, by taking off the front wheel I have no problem at all getting my bike in, and when I put my girls' bike in (without removing the wheel, hers is an ANCIENT beater) I could still have room for other s****... if you really need space, you should be able to take off the front and rear wheel, drop the seat post down, put the frames upside down along the side of the car so you don't get grease on the trunk floor, and then secure them upright using bungees. toss the tires in and you're good to go.
