  You cannot be serious. It was trivial to do this back before foldable seats were standard. You can fit at least two bikes in just the shitty "trunk" space of your average minivan. Every van ever made has more cargo space than the Cybertruck.

    maybe this is an HN thing, but how would you bring your kids/wife and 4 bikes inside a minivan?

      Assuming you have 2 kids, you remove the back row of seats, leaving four seats, and you can just load the four bikes up side by side in the back. Like a hatchback, but much bigger.

        I don't get how that works - quick look online: https://preview.redd.it/team-minivan-who-is-with-me-v0-oxprgrry99cb1.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=45bde993cf006a96ebf640cc7ba3e056b967d5a0 https://preview.redd.it/team-minivan-who-is-with-me-v0-oxprg... That's one bike, with only 3 available seats and the front tire taken off. How would you do 4?

          I mean yeah, you might need to take off some front tires https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycletouring/comments/1e4zzd1/four_bikes_four_riders_eight_packs_one_rented/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycletouring/comments/1e4zzd1/fou...

            You’re joking right? Do you have kids?
