Default carry a bicycle in a Mooney?

I have an M20J and I'd like to be able to take a bicycle sometimes. It's
OK if it doesn't fit through the baggage door, just needs to fit
inside the cabin and not block access through the (only) door. No
passengers, just me in the left seat. I'd prefer not to remove any
seats. I'm willing to accept compromised riding qualities to get one
that fits. Has anyone done this with a Mooney? What bicycle brands and
models will fit, if any? Thanks.

A student of mine recently bought two small motor bikes that fit in
his E model. They fold up and fit in the back (he did remove the rear
seat though). If you are interested I can ask him the brand of the
bikes. He and his girlfriend flew out to Disneyland and were able to
ride the motorbikes around town, no rental car required!!
