    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...
    Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

    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...
