Yup, I've got two Marins - A modified Palisades and Rock Springs.

Used to use them all the time til I passed my test, and when I had the nova there was no way I'd get a bike in the back of that!!

Thankfully the celica is a little more roomy so I can cart my bike about and go riding again :D

A bike should fit in the back of a Nova ok, if you remove the wheels its easier... Its just mine had two big subs in the way :lol:

keep them bikes boys - you,ll be surprised just how unfit youve become a few months down the line after using the nova for all runabouts . I too used to cycle everywhere using a big rucksack to carry most things till the license came my way , now four wheels replaces two . I,ll keep my bikes cos cycling is still a passion of mine , but thru driving I,ve now learnt one thing jumping on my bike to cycle the all to familiar trip to work . Its feckin dangerous - and I,d gotten too used and de-sensatised to the perils of ignorant drivers cycling all the time ,a few weeks back cycling to work there were a few ignorant a*******s who bore the colourful language of mine they normally cant hear due to me normally being contained in the shell of my Nova..... :evil:

Yeah you'll fit a bike in a Nova no probs, a couple of summers ago i managed to get 3 bikes on a rack, 1 in the boot, 4 people & everyones kit in my 1.0l Nova !!!
Don't think it managed to get over 45mph, the temp needle wasn't far off the red for the whole journey either !!!
