F*CK THAT! Jobs just ordered his, he can bloody well wait until after we get ours!

I will certainly be pursuing this once my car is in my hands, but some pre-emptive speculation is always fun. Certainly folding down the rear seats and putting bikes inside would have the least impact on range. But if I put a roof or rear mount bicycle rack on what will range drop to? What if I stick to 40 mph instead of 70? My wife thinks I'm crazy to even consider it, and that I should just take one of the ICE cars we have racks for, but I'll want to take the Leaf where ever possible...

Also no emissions. No dirty greasy chain to muss my new LEAFS interior.
I'm ready.

By pulling both wheels, I used to be able to fit my old Raleigh in the trunk of a Renault Alliance!
The back of the Leaf looks a lot more roomy
