I chose a super light model folding e-bike so putting two inside the PC for safekeeping while away would be easier to manage. Then with the forecast calling for rain I went shopping for a weatherproof bicycle cover for transporting them on a hitch mounted carrier, but a local bike shop guy suggested just carrying them inside instead. Why not, since DW agreed to give that a try.
I place our Qualisports Dolphins in 34”x17” plastic bins so they can’t roll around or tip over (that also works great in a SUV). One goes on the floor by the galley, with enough vertical clearance to fully open the refrigerator door. The other goes on the sofa, secured by the seatbelts.
At the campsite with the bikes chained up outside, the stacked bins are stored on the front seats and used for organizing, and do triple duty as a footrest while watching tv. Now I suspect I’ll be leaving the heavy Thule bike carrier at home most of the time.
