One of the (many) benefits of working for CubCrafters is a Sport Cub S2 that the employees have access to rent. I took the airplane up to the San Juan Islands with my full sized road bike in the back. I wasn't sure it would fit until I went to load up for the trip but with both wheels removed and the rear seat in the airplane stowed it fit perfect. Frame goes in upside down, handle bars aft and sitting on the floor of the baggage and the seat sits just below and on the floor about where the removable bar for the rear seat is. I did put a rear stick cover in. The wheels sit on either side of the frame, a blanket in between everything keeps it from rubbing. The rear seat seat belt went right through the frame and it wasn't going anywhere.

Ready to taxi, still lots of room left in the back.

I could sit under the wing and watch airplanes coming and going. This is a biplane that hops rides based at Eastsound (Orcas Island)

Stopped at Lopez Island for a few hours of biking on the way home Sunday.

Everything unloaded again in Yakima. I will be taking the bike along on more Cub trips for sure. It is the perfect combination of transportation. I had a lot of people wonder where I put the bike in the plane.
