I am travelling back home (Netherlands) for a bit and wanted to take my bike with me. So I rented a case from my LBS (pic below). The sucker is about 51"x37" (94cmx13cm). We own a fairly roomy sedan (at least for European standards), a 2008 Jetta, and the thing won't go in. Not in the trunk, not on the back seat. Am I missing something? What's the point of a case you can't transport by car? How am I supposed to get to the airport? How am I supposed to fit it into my sister-in-laws plug-in Prius, which has basically no trunk, if I can't fit it into her back seat? Is there some magic trick that I overlooked? Am I supposed to twist it just right and then it'll fit?
As it stands right now I think I'm hosed - I'm flying out tomorrow and it being Good Friday the LBS is of course closed...
Help?
(OK, so dropbox (or ST) is being silly and insists on putting the pic on it's head. It looks good in my file browser, and if I paste the link in my browser address bar. I say screw it, you get the picture (ha ha pun intended)).
