Is there a way to fit a Mountain bike into a Yaris Sedan?
There is a beautiful park 4 miles and 10 minutes away from my house. Is there a way to fit a regular size Mountain bike into a Yaris Sedan without bike racks?

without cutting it to bits? probably not. If it's only 4 miles, why not just ride there?

There is a stretch without bike path and a few traffic lights, I actually drove 5 mins once with half of the bike hanging out from the trunk lol. I regretted doing that because it scratched the plastic bumper.

Can't you remove the front wheel? Get quick releases for the fork.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure if you took front and back wheels of it should fit in the back seat. My buddy stuck a 29er in a Nissan Sentra recently.

What kind of bike is it? Most "legit" brands have quick releases on both wheels and the seat post. No tools are needed if they have quick releases. Just pull back the lever, loosen it, and remove the seat post. For the wheels, you would have to release the brakes (different brake types have different ways of doing this).

You shouldn't have to take the rear wheel off of the bike. I could fit my mountain bike in my sedan by removing the front wheel and putting the seats down in the car. I didn't have to remove my bike seat or even lower it. A bike rack is a very good investment, though.
