Can you lock the bikes on the rack?

yes but you will need to purchase a cable separately. You can run a long cable through the hitch for extra security.

I have not needed to lock my bikes on the rack, so I can not answer that question.

The rack doesn't have a lock itself but you can easily run a cable across them. For the money this bike rack is awesome. We have used ours a few times and are getting ready for another trip with it.

Yes you can run a cable around bike frames and down around rack.Just an update on the rack... We've traveled with 5 bikes now for numerous trips and 1000+ miles. Rack still handles great and is doing its job well.

There is no locking mechanism on the rack itself, but I just run a cable through all the bikes and through the loop on my trailer hitch. Keep in mind that if you lock/chain the bikes to the rack itself, you'd also want to make sure you have a locking trailer hitch/pin to prevent someone from simply pulling the pin and taking the entire rack with all your bikes attached to it (albeit, that would be heavy and awkward...but maybe I'm just a bit paranoid ;-) Great rack though. Good luck.

I have a bike lock to the spare wheel and the frame of the bike rack. You should also have a wheel nut lock to prevent theft on the whole wheel.

Yes you can, you can only not insert the rack and you´ll have an open space.

Unfortunately there are no security locks on this rack to prevent your bikes from being stolen. Only fasteners to hold them in place.

Most likely something like that could be done. I don't rely on the locks, and take the bikes in the room when we travel. We cable the bikes the folding Wizard rack that we have if we park and go shopping or eat if we can't visually see the bikes. We have pricey bikes, and we regard this as a carrying device, not a foolproof antitheft mechanism.

I believe the zippers are close enough to one another that you could lock it with a tiny luggage sized lock. But I got rid of the rack so I can't say for sure.

I don't see why not. Rack is simple on and off. I load rack and two bikes in 5 minutes and remove all upon return.

It is not really lockable. If you run a cable lock through the bike frames and the spare tire, the bikes would be secure--only if the spare is already secure.

Hello,no it can not. The bike does lock to the bike rack, but the bike rack does not lock to the car roof racks. Hope this helps.

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.

No, It does not have locks. I use my bike lock. With that being said, I really like this rack.

There are two rubber T-Pieces that get locked in place in the tailgate when you close it.Tailgate needs to be lockable if you want it theft-proof unless you lock the bike to the loadbed. "Rack" does have a lock that locks it to the bike though.Have a look at this pic, but it really is an easy diyhttp://rackwarehouse.com.p2.hostingprod.com/images/productimages/thule/t501-2.jpg

Not sure, sorry... note that there is a weight limit on the rack of 300Lbs so if you did add the bikes it may put you over that limit...

Yes you can, however the rack moves around a lot. It's safe, but if I were to buy another rack, it would be from 1up USA bike rack. I barrowed one, best rack I have ever used.

I purchased a lock for the hitch. You can lock the bike to the rack. I found the lick for the hitch on Amazon

You could, but you'd have to find a way to keep it firm. The rack itself is solid, but the bike is suspended in two heavy plastic grooves. It can swing from side to side gently.

It will be very uncomfotable to load the bikes. Technicali i dont see a problem if you have space on your rack but very unconvenient and i strongly dont reccomand
