One thing I hate about winter is that all the good bike railtrails are pretty much closed when it starts to snow. Come springtime, I'll be back on my road bike pedalling away. But since the HCH can't fold down it's rear seats, I don't think it will fit. With my current Civic, I can remove the front wheel, fold down the rear seats, and still get the bike in the car.

If I remove the front wheel will a road bike frame fit in the rear seating area? My rear wheel also has a quick release. Is it possible to remove both wheels and get it in the trunk (I'd rather not deal with the greasy chain though)?

If this fails, etrailer.com says it will have a no-drill tow bar for the 2k6 Civic sometime in January. I emailed them about the fitment for the Hybrid. They responded that they will have all pertinent information by January 3rd.

Heh. I think I see why people like SUV's so much
