I've carried a couple of non-folding bikes in a 172 by removing the wheels
and rotating the handlebars. It would have been easy with the rear seat
removed, but it was no fun with the rear seat in.

I'm looking for an airplane capable of carrying 2 persons and two mountain
bikes around the country. I'm thinking a C-172 could probably fullfill
the
mission with folding Montague Mt bikes stored in fabric bags, but that 2
regular Mt bikes would be awkward to store even with the wheels removed.
Anyone have an experience with this?

Thanks,
