Durham Dawdler May 2011 10:01am, 18 May 2011 626 posts	0 Durham Dawdler I'm not sure if it would fit hellen, I have a Clio and my road bike only just fits in the boot with the back seats down and the front wheel off
hammerite May 2011 10:10am, 18 May 2011 14,017 posts	0 hammerite My bike fits ok in my Corsa with the seats down. Lil - check out eBay, you might be able to get yourself a good cross bike for a lot less than the Trek. Mine was £400

Liliaicha May 2011 1:17pm, 18 May 2011 4,105 posts	0 Liliaicha Thanks Hammer, I'll take a look, but unsure about what size frame I need. I'm assuming it doesn't just go on height?
Debstir Jul 2011 11:37pm, 20 Jul 2011 3,655 posts	0 Debstir Both my road & mountain bikes fit on the back seat with the front wheel off (and an old towel over the back seat!). I've got an old Fiesta. My mountain bike is dying. I have spotted a rather gorgeous Trek hybrid and it's on offer in one of my LBSs But I'm not telling you where or how much in case you all beat me to it and there's none left for me
Yorkshire Pie Jul 2011 6:07am, 21 Jul 2011 8,835 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I have a fiat 500 and usually use a rack but I did once get a bike in with the back seats down and both bike wheels off. It was a tight fit though!
Chris the Fish Jul 2011 8:21am, 21 Jul 2011 51 posts	0 Chris the Fish I've been going through similar turmoil myself. Finally went for a giant roam 2 hybrid. I'm having to wait for it to be delivered, and the longer I wait the more I doubt I've made the right decision! Can't wait to get it tho!
Debstir Jul 2011 3:13pm, 21 Jul 2011 3,656 posts	0 Debstir Typical. Wandered past the other LBS after shift today, found myself eyeing up a Specialized hybrid now! Maybe I'd be as well giving my old MTB a wee bit more TLC and save myself a few hundred pounds....
Jerboa Aug 2011 5:33am, 2 Aug 2011 523 posts	0 Jerboa I'm also trying to decide whether to get a new bike. Have started cycling more and currently have a very old and uncared for mountain bike that cost me £80 from Argos about 12-15 years ago. It's really heavy and the gears are awful. Not sure whether a bit of TLC would bring it round or whether to spend out on a hybrid or even a road bike. I commute to work sometimes through the summer but can't say that I'll never want to go off road again. Don't want to spend a fortune but don't know what I really want either. Should I keep the mountain bike and get a road bike or get rid and get a hybrid? Maybe one day I'll consider a duathlon. But not planning on it at the moment.
