First inside perspective garage pic: Cybertruck parked w/ bed lighting on and bike in bed

Guys guys guys... like she told me, it's long enough.

Is that an oddly long bike or is the bed shorter than we think?
Or maybe just perspective playing tricks again!

Another example

this photo is mostly just showing how the CT bed (that is visible) is only 5'6" to 5'3" long - like a SCREW F150

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?

Women lie brother. I’m sorry

Mine is so full of tools, etc., you would never see paint if it were painted. Anyway, there really aren't any 'walls' in my garage. Open joist.

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


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

Even at 5’3” (63”) should the bike fit in the bed,

nah, bikes are long - this one as much as 80”, rubber to rubber (per friend above)

and if the wheel is shorter than the bulkhead then shouldn’t it fit pretty easily?

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

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.

Why don't Americans ever paint or finish their garages? They always just leave it bare gyprock.

Why don't Australians ever paint or finish their porches? They always just leave them bare wood or concrete. /s

Oh, wait.... maybe I've just seen a few of photos of porches in Australia that weren't painted and assumed they were all like that.......

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!

I couldn't find any statistics on the percentage of garages in the US that are finished, but of the five houses I've bought four have level 4 (fully finished, with texture and paint) drywalls. The fifth one is tract home that was built in 1964 with a detached two car garage that had open unpainted stud walls.

I think the angle of the picture and the height of the sail panels makes it appear that the bike is almost entirely filling the bed however I believe that is an illusion.

I took some pictures of my truck with a similar bike in it for comparison. As you can see my picture also appears to show that the bike is nearly touching the front wall of the bed.
However, when you put the bike fully in the bed like I normally do, it fits with just a slight turn of the handlebars and you can easily fit multiple bikes of similar size in the bed like this.

Truck is a Chevy Colorado crew cab long bed (advertised as 74" long) with a factory bed liner. I measured 71.75" long (ridge at the top of the bed which the bike tire is mainly touching) and 73.75" long at the bottom of the bed. The bike is a large Turbo Levo (47" wheelbase, 76" overall length).

Hopefully the CT bed is just as good or slightly better in size.

I think lowered it looks like a 1980's Lamborghini Countach pickup

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!
