in MTB general
Right, confession: I am not an MTBist, but I feel you folk are best placed for advice.
I love thrashing round off road on my gravel bike. I sometimes go by car, and just pop down the seats and chuck the bike in. It's an old car, not worried about dirt.
But...if I had a nicer car, how would I keep it "nice" without faffing around with racks? This includes driver's seat, etc.
Thanks in advance.

It's just a hill. Get over it.

Old carpet to line the back. Rolls up easy. Will soak up oil, mud & water. Let it dry then shake it out to keep clean1

Yeah, sadly a dislocated shoulder and general oldie knackeration mean that a tailgate rack is my optionoxoman said:...so I can fit my bike carrier again.

I just use a large tarp in the boot, folded so that it goes up the sides a bit to protect the carpet there.1

I use a groundsheet meant for use under a tent. It's like a large heavy duty plastic sheet rather than a tarp that is woven material. It's more robust and fully waterproof. The edges have gone raggy after many years use and exposure to UV, heat and cold.1

I thought you'd all have vans...
