I saw your drawings after asking my question, but the overhang, etc., is irrelevant if higher than the wheel diameter. Even at 5’3” (63”) should the bike fit in the bed, and if the wheel is shorter than the bulkhead then shouldn’t it fit pretty easily?
Garages really span the spectrum of uses from hoarders manifestation to Ferrari showroom. To each their own.
it’s not irrelevant to how the bike “looks” proportional to its surroundings, was explained I thought in the initial post
nah, bikes are long - this one as much as 80”, rubber to rubber (per friend above)
The wheel is not “shorter” than the bulkhead, if I understand your question
I said it is irrelevant *IF* the wheel/tire is lower than the bulkhead. You are saying that it isn't, so my comment is moot. I just measured the wheel/tire on my fat ebike and the wheel is 28" and the bike is 72" long. As you say, as long as the tire's full height isn't reached until beyond the bulkhead this bike might fit in the bed with the tonneau open. Not with it closed. I do not see those dimensions in the diagram you posted. That said, my fat ebike is huge for a bike. It is just an academic question on my part because I would most likely use a hitch-mounted carrier but I asked my question based on the garage photograph.it’s not irrelevant to how the bike “looks” proportional to its surroundings, was explained I thought in the initial post
and moreso, wheels are taller than the highest part of the CT bed/sails - that Eave is only ~29” off bed floor
the rims alone on that bike are ~26”, call it 2” of rubber each side and you’re at 30” and couldn’t close the tonneau with that wheel/tire upright
remember these 35” tires in the bed?
you couldn’t close the tonneau with that bike’s rear tirein the upright position

The wheel is not “shorter” than the bulkhead, if I understand your question
the bike tire’s midline would be at ~15” off the ground, coming ~directly in contact with the rearmost portion of the bulkhead
though in the photo, the bikes rear tire is still a few inches away from the bulkhead
Why don't Australians ever paint or finish their porches? They always just leave them bare wood or concrete. /s
It's not that big for a mountain bike. I have a Scott Strike e-bike in XL and it's 80" long. It fits in the trunk of my Model 3 with the front wheel removed and the rear seats folded down.
Most US houses are built to spec, and hence, don't have finished garages. Minimum effort in capitalist endeavor.
I was just pulling flowersandfilms leg a little bit because they said "never" and that's clearly wrong because my garage is finished. They posted a great little Australian song in reply. I enjoyed it a lot!
Could you imagine trying to keep that thing between the lines and away from curbs?? The body is nearly 80” wide, but add two feet to that, and it wouldn’t make it thru some parking lots! ???I think lowered it looks like a 1980's Lamborghini Countach pickup
Add 2 feet? The flares are usually 3-4" on each side so at most it would add 6-8" to the width of the truck.
