I'm 5'6". You might try asking over at http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/index.php .There are a lot of guys on that forum who love to sleep in their Elements, and I have to believe that some of them are at least 5'10".

Thanks, I'll check out the link.

I'm reading this thread with interest, as DH & I both have big, honkin' long wheel base recumbents. Wheels on, think 6 feet or more long.

So far, the easiest way to transport the bikes is by simply riding them places, but time becomes a factor - like for out of state rides.

I'm sure a solution will come to me eventually...

Hmmmmmm.
Don't think the Honda Fit will work for you!

How 'bout a long-bed pickup with a cap? Won't get 25 mpg, but you could opt for a diesel.

We also have LWB bents (Easy Racer Gold Rush & TiRush) and I drive a 2001 Chevy Venture. With only 3 seats left in, will carry 3 ER bents, with fairings on, and luggage for week long tour for 3 people. Bike sizes small & medium we can leave front wheels on, size large or X-large, wheels off. Gas mileage = avg 22mpg city, 25-28 hwy. Drives more like a car than a van.

We're up to 101,300 miles on odometer, so we're starting to look for something to replace it. I'm following this thread with lots of interest

My sweetie mentioned wanting a Honda Fit, and after reading about the tandem in the Fit, I'm getting interested in one.

I must say that little detail caught my attention as well.
I guess I'm going to have to look at one of those...
