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

Not /my/ skills; that was, I believe, a photo of JP Weigle's CdM bike I
posted. It's packaged in the Alps style
Lynne,
Having a similar need, I fabricated a solution that would work for our
Mazda 5 micro-van. Using Thule truck bed fork mounts and a sheet of
plywood, I made a removable carrier that I could secure 2 full-size
bikes with room for a 3rd if you pull the back wheel (or if it's a
kiddo bike).
There are so many great ideas in this group - thank you all! I've decided
to get some fork mounts to put on a 2x4, put one bike upside down in the
middle, and do some bike Tetris. And use blankets between. And maybe take
the pedals off. I'll do a dry run before the trip.
I'm especially
We had an Odyssey & as I recall it was quite tall inside. But IIRC you're
going to have to leave one seat at home. Test out your loading ideas well
ahead of departure. In addition to some of the above, see if you can put
the bikes in upside down on their handlebars & seats. This puts the

Locked luggage rack on top, make room for Rinko-ized bikes inside?
I'll bet if you Rinko the bikes you wouldn't need a rooftop luggage rack
at all. Even an "Easy Rinko" without removing the fork would save a
lot of space.
Locked luggage rack on top, make room for Rinko-ized bikes inside?
Rear bike rack, dust off after, bring inside along the way or lock up as needed?
Uber minimalist packing, ram and cram.
That’s all I’ve got. We haul our family of 6, with gear and two kids bikes
inside, all other bikes on racks
I've put three bikes and people in an Odyssey. The bikes were stored
upright and a couple seats were removed. It was pretty easy.

Maybe take off both wheels from every bike, and slide them in heel-toe,
cranks and rings resting on newspaper, etc.Put the bike with the widest
bars in the middle, pointing "in."
We did that with three bikes and three people in a Subaru once. We used

Three full size bikes inside an Odyssey with room for a passenger may be
... challenging. Doing so will probably require some minor disassembly to
get done.
DarinM suggests removing the front wheel. Maybe use something like this:

to keep the bikes
My typical method for bike transport in an early 2000's Subaru Forester is
to remove the front wheel, drop the passenger-side rear seat and send the
bike in head first. A bungy cord keeps the bike and front wheel upright and
against the outside wall. I recently did this for the first time with
