Is there a way to lock the bike onto the rack? You know, so I could leave the bike on the rack while I run an errand.

I use my bike chain and lock. I keep it on my bike so I can use it for my rack and if I am out riding and need to lock it.

There isn't a locking mechanism with the rack. It's easy to use the usual bike cable lock looped through a bracket at the hitch, when leaving unattended. That's a secure fix for me.

Yes, but you would also need to purchase a cable and lock. Most cables are 6 feet long and either have a key lock or a combination lock.

There is no specific locking device, but you can run a cable around the bike and hitch mount, just like you would lock it at a bike rack.

Not sure what you are asking for sure. The pin that holds the rack to the hitch is threaded so it would take quite a bit to take the rack, as for the bike, I don't think there is a way to lock it to the rack. I love the rack, but never leave my bike on it for any length of time unattended.

No, there is no built in system to lock bikes to the rack itself. The rack has a clever system for locking itself into the hitch so it cannot be stolen.

I tried to see if we can, however i do not think it's possible. If securing is important for you, you want to buy it and take to local hardware shop to weld something to it or maybe the item listed below.Combination Bike Lock with Coated ChainHope it helps.

Not really. I have a lock on the tow hitch receiver, but you would need a long cable lock for that. I cable the bikes together if I need to lock, but with a single bike wouldn't work. I only go to restaurants or short errands if I have bikes on the back. I would never leave them on overnight.

Yes you can lock it out while riding but it is a lot easier to do it when youre off the bike.

Not this model, you'd have to get a separate lock to able to secure bikes or the rack itself. The RS model does have locks however, it might be worth checking that one out.

The arm and rack both have locks, they are more of a deterrent a prevention. So yes, but if it is on the roof it would take quite a while to do that. You can always use cable lock and lock the bike to the roof rails.

Sure. I do. But of course your temperament may vary. I keep a spare wrench in the rear cubby to make tightening/loosening the bolt convenient but sometimes I just hand tighten and put the lock on it (that's where it locks to the car). My hatchback (2014 Outback) opens with rack mounted but I must make sure the top inside bike clamp is nor in play. Basically mounting us put the rack in your hitch, insert bolt, put lock on. Removal is the opposite. I also fold the two wheel racks down/up because my garage is so full of crap the isn't much roo to set it.

You may be able to use a small lock instead of the pin for the bolt in the hitch. The only way you could lock the bikes would be to use a cable lock wrapped through them.

Yes. I bought one from an Amazon store.I purchased the rack, a locking cable, and a locking bolt.The rack is locked to the car with the locking bolt.The cable is a 8ft cable that I thread through the arms of the rack and the frame/tires so my bike is locked on too.Am enjoying the rack a lot. It's great.

The rack has a system that locks it to the trailer hitch, however there are no locks that lock the bike to the rack.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

The rack can easily be removed. Therefore you should easily remove it anytime you lock up your bike and take it with you wherever you go.

There's a lock washer on the inside at the bottom that secures the box to the mounting bracket. Theoretically, you'd probably have to break some portion of it to get it off the bike without opening it.

well if you have a rack in the back it might be possiblebut from what I've seen it looks like you might have to get a little creative. I did see a sport bike one time with It on.
