Yeah, that's a good solution. I just visualized three bikes inside the van like U-locking several bikes together. That's a problem I encounter frequently, but never with a pedal wrench on hand :)
If I only had an Allen wrench for removing and reinstalling pedals on multiple bikes (especially if they're coming out more then once on the trip), I'd put up with a fair amount of re-positioning cranks before concluding it wasn't going to work. YMMV on that though. I bring the pedal wrench along when we use the roof racks on our van. I can *just* manage to fit a Skybox between two fork-mounted roof racks, but it means by removing the inside pedal on both bikes (and accepting everything in the Skybox is inaccessible until the bikes come back off). -Randy On Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 12:06:45 PM UTC-8, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > > On 11/27/18 12:05 PM, Randy Franks wrote: > > This thread really deserves pictures of everybody's Bike Tetris > > achievements. > > > > As a fellow Odyssey owner, I think it'll be tight but that you can > > pull it off.
