The problem with bikes is the weight sits up too high when it's strapped on. The second problem, out west anyway, is they are illegal to use off road or off designated trails in virtually every state out here. Go tooling out thru the brush and someone finds it, you might be pushing it back to town. There are quite a few trails where the width limit is 48" and there, they would be great, but again, loaded up with an Elk they get real tipsy till you get up to speed. They're not worth a dam loaded up and crawling along.
