Can you put the bikes inside the pod for travel?

Not sure if thats a question, or a suggestion. Of course you can put them inside the pod to travel. I just ordered 2 new Radcity Electric bikes, and that's probably how I'll transport them. Just have to be sure they don't go flying.

Not happening. The RadCities would be easier, I'm sure, but even if it works (with 2 of them!) then you have a Pod full of bikes which might interfere with pit stops on the road..
I saw a rack on an RPod at the Hatteras Light last yeah that held the bike vertically (front wheel up, back wheel down) on the front of the Pod. The rack used suction cups to stick itself to the Pod. I don't know that I'd trust that at all, but certainly not with a 60-70 lb electric bike!

I have a 2004 F350 TV and I use a front hitch mount bike rack. My son in law had to cut off about 4” of the vertical tube, otherwise the bike ride up too high and blocked visibility. The wheels block a little of the headlights after dark, but not much. I don’t drive after dark very often, so it didn’t bother me.i get terrible gas mileage anyway driving a F350, so I don’t think one baby blue beach cruiser makes it much worst! I like being able to see it, and know that it didn’t fall off or get stolen.

We opt for either inside the bed of our truck or inside our 177. Our road bikes are worth around $ 3k together and I don't like the thought of cleaning off bug juice, recleaning/lubricating the chains and derailleurs, road oil residue off before taking a ride on our road bikes. Obviously if you have a simple road/mountain bike that you replace on a regular basis, it probably wouldn't be a big deal to put out in front of your TV.
