Great idea on mounting your bike inside of the fit. I am trying to do the same thing, but am having some trouble. Is the wooden board attached to the car or is it free to move? Have you had any problems with the bike tilting and falling over during turns?

The wooden board is not anchored to the car, but the bike is anchored to the board though. This creates an "L" shape that stabilizes the whole jig. So far, no problems. In my case, the seat is also wedged in between my handlebar creating more stability. Hope this helps and good luck!

hah, nice I did the same thing. I actually wrapped mine with black non slip drawer liner, so it blends with the interior and grips the carpeting better.
Thanks for the answers lexfit. After two attempts, I have it semi-working! My bikes' wheelbase is to large to run it parallel to the cargo area, but it fits diagonally. During the first attempt, I used a board that was only 3.5 inches wide and did not impart enough stability. Then I tried a 11 inch wide board and it works fairly well. The setup fits both my mountain and road bikes. When driving with the bike attached, visibility out the rear and sides is decent. However, under moderate acceleration and braking, the board and bike tends to slides forward and back. Ill have to get the nonslip liner and try it out. Great suggestion 743power! I was thinking velcro, but it will probably tear up the cargo carpet after a while. Here are some pics for inspiration .
