http://item.express.ebay.com/V...sItemever since i got the vibe and started reading about the concept, i remember reading about an interior bike rack... i guess they never did it for the vibe, but i wonder if this would fit.

Looks like it might. It would just depend on how it mounts.I actually built one of my own. It's uglier than sin but it worked well.I had to angle the fork-mount carrier in order to accomodate the particular bike I was carrying but I was happy with the way it worked. http://homepage.mac.com/wmill/....html

hmmm....that's interesting! i may have to 'steal' your idea. what i've done in the past is obviously remove the front wheel, fold the seat forward and use an arno strap to secure the handle bars to the front headrest. thanx for the idea!!!

Here is a thread on how someone used a RoadGear bike mount in the cargo rails to hold a bike:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=16200

it seems so stupid to have those cargo tie down rails in the back and only use them with the little locking hook things.I could have sworn that when this car was new (in mid/late 02) I saw a pic of a bike rack in the rear that just bolted in... I can not find it now for the life of me so maybe it was just another pipe dream of mine.Seems like a perfect idea to me though.CAN-AWD-VIBE
