I'm also not a tall guy, but I am a car guy. The Element, aside from gas
mileage, is a great carrier, but Honda is taking it off the market. As a
new vehicle, it's not a viable recommendation.
At least one local Rivendeller (see, back on topic!) used a RAV-4 as a bike
carrier, to store them
A car guy! Sh! Don't type it too loud! I saw the new
Prius-V, it looks promising. And in keeping this Riv/tall boy
on-topic, all of these vehicles would have to meet this criteria:
Bike loaded in, rear wheel first, still attached, preferably with the

Roof racks have been great from me. Especially when traveling with three

They have worked on cars, mini vans and my current Escape. The Element we

I also drive a Honda Element, specifically purchased because I can get
my bikes inside. I remove the front wheel and get the 64cm Ram
vertically inside The Toaster.
I fold up one rear seat when carrying a bike and can use the 2nd rear
seat as a changing room if necessary. The rubber/plastic
I have a Honda Element too and I think it is ideal for a bike and gear carrier.
I use fork holders mounted on pieces of old Trex decking to lower the bikes to
make easy entrance to rear hatch. As an exercise I managed to fit four bikes
alternating front ends and back ends but three is more
