Do you think 2 cornhole boards will fit? Each one is 48 inches long, 24 inches wide and 3 inch height.

I don't have any boards handy, but I'm pretty sure they'll fit. I measured and it looks like lots of room in each dimension.

This is great news im a avid road bike rider and was worrying about this. You no if there are any plans for a roof rack or is that just blasphemy on this car?

3 bikes
2010 Fuji Track Pro
Fuji track
2011 Specialized Tricross Sport. (only 1 with quick release wheels)

im hoping my bones 2.0 will mount up just fine for the mountain bikes....but thats badass, what a clean travel setup! congrats!:happy0180:

Good to know. Luckily, once in a while there are times I have a lot of cargo. I'm def getting a bike after I get my car so this helps.

I have a bones 3. I haven't tried it on the car just yet. Don't want to monkey up the paint just yet.

Protect your rear bumper and opening with a blanket or cardboard, so you do not harm it with the bike pedals.

Way ahead of you! There's a rug in the trunk under the bike. You can see it in the first pic. It folds out over the bumper :)

How much was that Scion bumper protector? I was quoted 180 to do it with a piece of 3M without the logo. Can you see the logo when the trunk is closed?

I don't remember how much it was. You can see it when the trunk is closed. BTW the top of the bumper there seems to be the part of the car that gets dirty the fastest. After driving in the rain, the rest of the car looks ok, but that spot looked a little dirty. I might be using a lot of quick detailer there, so I'm glad there's a cover.

I am also an avid cyclist and have a 54cm bike as well.
If the bike does not fit in the back with only 1 wheel removed, it could be a deal breaker.

I was wondering have you tried to put the bike with the handlebar in first? Front wheel removed. What I have done previously is rotate the handlebar 90 degree, while grabbing the seat stay insert the bicycle into the trunk. You usually need to angle and get the saddle into the trunk first, then the chainring.

Can you let me know how well this method works the next time you try this?
Thanks

I'll be trying to load my bike into the BRZ later this week. Also 54cm (CAAD9).

Also the OP has a couple pics, one with both wheels removes, and another with just the front removed.

I have asked and Inno and Yakima both have plans to make a rack for the FR-S

What's the problem with removing the rear wheel? Takes another 15 seconds. Just keep some wet wipes handy, plus it's helpful if you got a clean chain (ask me how, might as well thread jack from here on.) :-)

I have a Kestrel RT-900SL size 59, I am curious too if it will fit with both wheels removed.
