Maybe Long mode but I'm not positive about that...
Also, Tall mode is an option... I think it really depends on the bike.

How big of a bike? I know my road-hybrid Trek 7.5 will not, but it has a pretty big frame and wheels. maybe a mountain bike or a folding bike? (see many different ones at http://nordicgroup.us/fold/#Introduction pretty old list but I was amazed at how many there are! )

I can put my road bike in the back seat with the bottoms raised (tall mode). I have to remove the front wheel and tie the handlebar to the overhead hand grab (I use a strap around the brake lever). This leaves the rear cargo area for cargo.

fit my road bike in mine last weekend. i put out a blanket and laid it down (with the back seats down of course). a little hard to get in and out, and i scratched the inside a bit but it works. also, check out this picture:
not fully assembled, but it definitely makes for a cleaner and more stable storage.

Had to lay it flat with the front wheel pointing up. Some plastic sheeting on the floor and over the tailgate sill prevented any marking.

I love Honda cars but their accessories are crap. The ipod link being the prime example. Mine has never worked properly and completely ate the dust after 6 days. The new unit is still malfunctioning.
Goto Costco and get some straps for like $15 and call it a day.
If Honda actually gave us the straps in the price of the car then I would take them. But knowing Honda they would be an extra in a "tie-down" accessory they have, similar to the cargo basket. Cargobasket = overpriced tupperware.

When I came to the dealership to put in the down payment and do the paperwork, I brought my road bike to see how it fit(not the car I was buying).
I wasn't able to fit the bike using the "tall" mode even with removing the front tire, but I may be able to do it with taking off both tires. The bike did fit in the cargo mode, but I will have to try Spreadhead's idea of tying up the handlebars.
I'll fill you in later on when I get my new wheels
My bike is a 22" frame road bike with 26"/700mm tires.
