This is true, and it's what I usually do. But the Insight is an especially
small car. Also, the cargo floor is raised a bit. It probably has about the
same cargo space as an old RX-7 or Porsche 944, and maybe a little less than an
Audi TT. So I'm wondering if someone has actually done it, and how it works
out.

I fellow I've riden with owns an Insight and carries his bike in it.

I never really bothered to notice the specifics of how well it works.

First of all, this sounds like the setup to a joke!

Second, with a car that small, why not explore the option of an external
bike rack?
