Can the seats be easilly removed? Is there enough room for 2 or 3 bikes to fit in the back?
Answer
There's not enough height. I couldn't get my kid's 16" bike in straight up. No way would my mountain bike fit, even with the seat down.
It's why roof racks or bumper hitch mounts are sold. Think about it, it will take a full sized van to gain enough vertical height handle bars to tread to just walk one in.

How can I get the front brakes on my bike from rubbing against the tire?
Zook
A kid messed with my bike and now the front brakes on it slightly rub against the tire, causing it to slow down much faster. How can I adjust them to fix this problem? Also the tire itself seems a little loose.
Answer
It might not be the brakes. Check these 2 below before adjusting the brakes.
1. Check that the wheel is firmly attached and aligned properly. Place bike on the ground. If it has a quick release lever then release it, make sure the axle is firmly in the fork, and then close the lever making sure there is medium resistance. The medium resistance ensures that the lever won't simply vibrate open. If it has axle nuts get a properly fitting wrench, loosen both nuts first and then tighten down.
2. Check the straightness of the wheel. Do this by spinning the wheel and watching for a wobble side to side. If it wobbles a lot, that is from one brake pad to the other, go to your local bike shop and get you wheels trued.
If neither problem above exists, then adjust your brakes.
For V or long arm brakes, see the first link
For cantilevers, see second link
For race bike sidepull brakes (ones where the arms reach from the top and pinch the wheel like a hand and thumb), see 3rd link
If all this doesn't help or is the least bit confusing, go to your local bike shop. They should be able to help you easily and quickly if it is a single simple thing.
