Anyone out there transport a road-bike "in" their Mini???

I'd like to buy one of these little buggers but I need to confirm that I can store a road-bike (front wheel off) in the rear "trunk" area first.

Thanks

No TRUE Mini owner would transport any bicycle other than a Moulton in their Mini. A Moulton would fit without any problem. And, yes, I own a Mini, a MINI and a Moulton!

All right, bobbiemartin. Way to go!

Personally I just use the very nice MINI official roof rack. I do not have to mess about with the seat post, front wheel, handlebars or anything else. Just hoist it up on top, clamp the bracket around the frame, strap the wheels down, and away I go.

I can carry my road bike or my mtn. bike, or both. Although I'm not sure why I would. I can also carry my bike and my significant others bike, and my significant other. All in one trip.
