wow, the above response seems unecesary,
i have have never had a problem geting one of my bikes onto a bus rack with a recumbant when i broke down or the weather went south. as long as the wheel base is good you shouldnt have any problems.

Almost all bus companies use the same sport rack with the same dimensions.
my bike has an 1160 cm wheelbase and fits if i turn the front wheel backwards, gaining about 4 inches. that is a Raleigh gruv with 26 inch wheels. It is the longest bike i could get on a bus rack
so, if your ‘bent falls in this dimension, should maybe fit.
the transit companies are quite helpful, San Diego publishes specifications.

It might, but the width of it would probably limit the amount of bikes that can fit on the rack to just one.. yours
