Put one bike in the back seat area. The wheels rest in the 'track' where the seat legs go when folded down.
When I take more than one bike, I use the bike rack that goes in the hitch receiver.

Carry my mountain bike there all the time..works like a charm.

As advertised... my full size mtnb fits snugly in the rear. Rear tire in the "track", rotate front tire to wedge against the pillar and it doesn't move.

When I have only one bike, I carry it in rear. I use bungee cords around the post and onto the Ridge seat support. For more bikes, I carry in bed with Performance bike rack - I added fork thingy so I can carry 3 bikes that way.

I've put a bike back there before, my mtb is too big and have to take out the front wheel, the mtb is too big even with the wheels turned.

I can't get either my mountain bike or road bike in the rear. Both are too big. I have a 20mm through-axle in the front of my MTB, so I haven't tried to get it in without the front wheel because I'm too lazy to take it off. The MTB also has a very slack head tube angle which makes the wheelbase even longer. I ride a size-large. I can't imagine how Skywalker got that Rocky Mountain in the rear unless maybe it's a size-small cross-country bike.

Anyone try to put a road bike in back?

Yup, without the front tire on I can get two road bikes inside the back.

I ride a large (19" frame) Azure, and it fits just fine in the back.
