Dear All

I am looking at buying a bike rack (prob. the Sarin Bones 3-bike) so the family can all go out together on bike trips. However, it looks like bikes are just strapped onto the rack and not locked in place.

Is there a good way to secure the bikes from theft? For example, what kinds of bike lock work best with strap-mounted bike racks?

All comments appreciated.

Best wishes

Ivan

    I'd go for a huge chain and then run it through the tow rope eye on the back of the car. Big motorbike locks are handy for this.

    Thanks for your advice. We'll do something like this I think.
