Whatever you do, try to make sure that the bike's place does not require moving the bike for loading or unloading freight and does not take away space for freight. That doesn't leave many options. I am still amazed how many forklift drivers comment that my van is so easy to load, because I don't have to unload things and rearrange things to make the freight fit. A recent customer described how he had to reload a cube van three time while the driver rearranged personal property to include a swimming pool for the dog.

I carried mine before and might do so again. If you have at least a quick release front wheel that makes the space work better. Depending on where you wall mount it you might want to remove at least one pedal to keep it i.side the wheel well. If you do hang it be sure to strap it to avoid it bouncing off your wall in turns. I would probably device a way to use velcro straps to hang with rather than hooks.

Chances are where you first keep it will change after some time.

Take your helmet!

They make folding pedals primarily for folding bikes but no reason one couldn't put them on any bike. They'd potentially allow the bike to stay inside the wheel well area and not intrude into cargo space. If the front wheel has a QR and the fork isn't too curved the bars can turn 90 degrees so the bars parallel the wall. For anyone that doesn't already have a bike they want to take along, a folding bike can be a good option. One good site is ThorUSA which I have no interest or connection with, just familiar with.

I swapped freight with a guy who had a bike in the back of his sprinter he had it mounted to his dividing wall on hooks strapped in nice looking set up. I've been thinking about doing the same thing wen stuck in a nice area go get some exercise and enjoy the weather
