a transit van?
Thinking of hiring one for a C2C, someone suggested a long wheel base, I reckon a normal one will be fine. But what's the limit for people and bikes?
A mate can pretty easliy get 5 bikes, 5 lots of kit and 5 people in a transporter so i reckon a transit van will be similar.
put bikes and kit for a dozen in the back of the hiace LWB I used to have for a trip to the alps - dh bikes, spares, lots of tyres, few tool boxes, body armour, kitbags etc - didn't need to sling anything on top of the bikes
it's always nice to have the extra space
had 13 DH bikes and 5 people. 2 of which may have been travelling illegally :oops:(and certainly uncomfortably) in an old SWB transit
In a normal van your limit is generally 3 people. Bikes wise 8 without taking anything apart and 12-14 with pedals off and maybe a few other bits done.
As GW says. A looong time ago, back when we were riding in the Dragons course at Mountain Ash for Jason, I think the record was 16 bikes and riders in a LWB, albeit with one bloke perched on the roof. Happy days.
Three people + three bikes + spares (including forks, wheels etc) + kit for two weeks in the Alps filled half a SWB trannie.
