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 surprised this is even possible with the rear seat in. With the
rear
seat out it's a snap to load 2 full-size bikes in a 172. For those
who don't
already know the procedure to take the rear seat out, you need to
rotate it 180 degrees around the arm rest and pull it out the door
upside-down.
