Default Honda Prelude Bike solutions?

Like the title says, I'm looking for a way (preferably cheap) to get a bike in/on a 4th gen Prelude ('94)

Bike is a plain old RedLine. Need to get it from RVA to Portsmouth. Will NOT fit in the backseat, or trunk.

its called taking the front wheel off or taking it and strapping it to the roof or go to walmart and buy a trunk rack to put it on

I had a trunk rack from a friend, it didn't fit correctly. Tried taking both wheels off, still wouldn't go into backseat. I even tried kicking the damn thing in there... no luck.

And it's illegal to just strap it to the roof. Got pulled over before with a bike ratchet strapped to a Baretta.

It would be different if I was just driving down the street, but I'm driving an hour and 45 minutes on the interstate. This needs to be right.

Does it have a trailer hitch?

Wife has one of these for the TSX;



If not, you can always get something like this for the cheap on CL;

hell, even walmart carries cheap bike racks man. they'll work on your car, it may not be a perfect fit, but it will work. i've put mine on a 00' cavalier, a mazda 3, a ford windstar, dodge caravan, and a spec v. it fit on all of them.

You're fucking dumb if you can't fit a bike in a car. Take the wheels, bars, cranks off of the bike and it will fit.

LOL I personally watched you fit TWO in your TSX. I still can't believe that worked.
