Haha true, my XXL 29 if hung with the front wheel from the chairlift hits the ground.
And even my XL hardtail with a modest 1250mm wheelbase was too long to be put safely on the rack, some roads and highways left lanes here are only 2m wide. Had some embarrassing moments when the driver of the VW bus didn't remind that when overtaking or driving into the parking.
I am the exact same size and weight (and just a little bit older) as Mr. Miller and can't think of anything bigger as 29" in the rear, but maybe a bigger front wheel? But that would require a choice of longer forks, and until that happens I am too old riding.
Infrastructure won't matter, this will adapt. E.g. horses are much more popular than ponys.
