Things that can be fit in an MX-5: Mountain Bike

Given we live in a world world where two-children families are buying seven-seat SUV's, I thought it prudent to highlight my recent triumph of interior packaging.

My beloved MX-5 has been in for a touch of rhinoplasty this week, after two recent instances of Sydney parallel parking love tapping.

See below in-progress shot.

When it came to collecting her from the surgery, the surgeon did not extend the same courtesy lift they did when I dropped her off. Fair enough.

So, faced with either a two-hour multiple bus ride or a one-hour bike ride, I elected to risk fitting my Giant XTC-2 onto my 5's passenger seat for the trip home, a feat I hadn't attempted in the past.

I'm proud to say that with the passenger seat moved forward to allow maximum reclining, the 19" frame Giant fit like a glove with both wheels removed and the bike seat left at full height.

With the use of a blanket and towel, there was no chafing of my precious tan interior either.

There you go, another great triumph to add to my MX-5's repertoire.
