Could not find a good photo match, but it looks kind of like a poppy. Possibly icelandic poppy? Photo of leaves would be helpful.

I was able to buy a rack from Hollywood racks, I believe, that fits my long wheel base Stratus. I’ve used it once. The older model I had the bike was too big for it.

I need to read the whole entry before replying - I see she also has a Honda Fit!

What bike does she have, exactly? She's standing in just the wrong place!

I'm like you - I ride an XL length. I have put my bike on a truck rack carrier for short, in town distances. I bought a minivan special to carry my recumbent in. But, I know of several LWB riders who use hitch racks. AD Carson has a hitch rack on his wife's Honda Fit. With his bike on there, it looks as if it is so rear heavy as to flip the car over. That isn't his usual method of carrying his bike, but he's done it. The bike hangs WAY over.

That would be a terrible feeling! Talk about a design flaw!

I use the Ortlieb Sport Packer front and rear. There are a little difficult to get on the underseat rack, and I haven’t really had any issues with rubbing the ground unless I’m taking a bike up on the curb.

I don’t know about flats, but John’s wheels slipped into the gap between the boards and it took a few minutes to get them out.

Yes although we may not have documented as such.
