Expert Reply:
The best solution would be to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount recumbent bike rack. For a trailer hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite, # DT78MR. The receiver on this hitch is a little longer which will help to clear the spare tire mounted on the back. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
If your recumbent bike has 3 wheels, you can use # Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack for 2 Fat Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR1450Z-FB with a Trike Adapter # HRTRK-ADP.
