Bikes: Rans V-Rex

With the wide seat back you can't back in a recumbent like you do a upright bike. If you have tilt bars and the cables are long enough you might be able to do a 180 and fold them towards the seat? Or the v-rex might be short enough to fit in without a problem. I didn't have my Large Giro 26 at the time but it is just so huge I'm not sure it would fit, and a Stratus or X-Stream I'd think wouldn't have a chance.
Fortunately my office is big enough to accomodate my V-Rex without too much trouble

Thanks everyone! I'll be checking out all these links. I suspect the plastic enclosures would be more than good enough for our area and the lower cost is a plus.
