    I have been traveling with a bike for three years. It helps with stress, digestion and quality of sleep. Basically any bike can fit in a truck, by removing front wheel maybe seat as well. I lay mine with rear wheel on headrest, forks on floor, handlebars turned to make it fit. Strapped with seat belt and usually a bunge cord to keep it still.
    Some people will put theirs on top bunk if they have one.

    The Montague pictured above is a fantastic bike. It is a full sized bike, and very sturdy

    If that (folding bike) doesn't work: a wrench, some angling adjustments, a few bungee's and a catwalk or headache rack should be okay....... Where there's a will: there's a way. Applies to criminal behavior as well. But don't let that stop ya!

    What if you park at the truckstop and then plan to spend the night in a hotel?

    That bike doesn't look as whack as the old style European folding bikes with small wheels. Interesting!!!
