I am considering a GR86, how do you haul a bicycle?

Back seat down, front wheel off and lift it in back wheel first, chain side up.
Stuff in the front wheel and shut the trunk. Works fine.

I bought a Slambert performance twin hitch for mine. It works well enough but I think for my needs I should have just gone with a sea sucker. The twin hitch is rated at 100lbs tongue weight. My bike rack is almost 50lbs alone, and the way things bounce around back there leaves me no confidence to push it. The main anchor bolts even appear to have bent a little. Definitely 1 MTB at a time only. 2 road bikes would be OK as they're so light, but I never need to carry 2 road bikes. |

I fit my Trek Domane 58cm road bike in the back with the seats down and both wheels off the bike. There is still plenty of room in the back for the wheels, a bag, pump and other things you might bring for a ride. The height of the trunk opening under the rear window is a limiting factor and it was tricky getting 42cm bars through when I put the bike in front-first, but now I put it in rear-first and it's much easier.

gotta find a machinist. or at the very least, a welder.
guy was making these for the 1st gen, should fit the 2nd gen as well. just install in the tow hook spots. strong enough to stand on.

Like someone said, front wheel off, handlebars parallel to the frame, load front first. Main issue is that the (flat) pedals might be a tight fit between the trunk floor and the parcel shelf. Did it a few times, no worries. |

I don't fit my bike "in" my gr86, but I carry it "on" my FR-S with my Bitchin Bike Rack. I made this a couple years ago to carry my e-bike and it's become one of my favorite mods. It's made out of iron pipes attached to the tow holes.
It folds up when not in use to give me extra rear end collision protection. Works great and could probably hold a motorcycle it's so strong. The design has one major flaw. You can't open the trunk. If I only made it 8 inches shorter.... |

I also have the Slambert hitch bar. It's solid and does the job. What little bike movement I see in the rearview mirror I think is due to my hitch bike rack.

I had a Slambert and it was 100% my bike rack moving.
