Yeah, that's an issue. It would be easy with a trailer. Sans trailer, I see only two ways of it working on a bike, both problematic: strap it to the top tube or the rack. The former would be really tough, as it would have to hang out fore and aft. The latter would probably be best. You could anchor it well and it wouldn't really be in the way, but it would still hang off the back a good 15 to 18 inches on most racks.
