    Hi,
    Can you help? I live in Rathgar and signed up for Charity Cycle which starts from Mohill this Sat July 30 - http://www.south-leitrim-80k-cycle.com

    Must suit an Audi A6 and be idiot-proof for fitting !
    I will collect on Fri Evening and return on Sun Evening or Mon morn whatever suits.

    It all for the North West Hospice in Sligo

    Thanks a mill.

    Cant help I'm afraid - but cant you take the front and back wheels off and fit it?

    I imagine your are talking about a saloon, but the A6 should be able to take it, unless you have too much other stuff/ people etc?

    Thanks for your prompt reply - that certainly makes sense. Not a great bike mechanic though. If I cant something handy I may well do that.

    I have one, that fits on the ball of a tow bar, if it suits, you can have a loan of it. I live in Drogheda.

    If you can fit a bike rack you can remove wheels and saddle! It's a 5 minute job for a newbie!

    I've a very small car in comparison to you - Toyota Auris. I can fit my 59cm road bike into the back of the car by just letting down the back seat. I can even close the boot. Give it a try. It might just fit. The A6 is a pretty big car.
