Can this bag carry a bike U lock? And hold a 4 foot flex cable?

Not absolutely sure. My guess is yes, but the lock I assume is heavy and so is the cable. The weight may cause the bag to droup down some and put some pressure on the shift and brake cables. On a casual basis probably you'll be ok, but if this would be for daily use you might want to consider something else.

I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable. On my trip to Moab, UT we just bought a extra long cable and a set your own combination lock running it the cable through the 3 bikes wheels and back to tho the hitch where we used the safety chain loops to lock the the bikes to the the car. The only think I had a problem with is the pin/bolt that came with the carrier was too short, and the hole in the carrier was is 1/ inch and my hitch uses a 5/8th pin. We fixed this by hitting Lowe's and buying a 1/2' bold and nut. so if you go buy a locking pin for the hitch be sure it's long enough and only 1/2". As I said I also wanted to secure the bikes so the cable is my advice.

Yes, I think it is a good size for something like that. Problem with this bag is that it is right between your legs, so you definately do not want bulk, and you cannot open and close it while you are riding/pedaling. But I think it is a great bag for a lock and chain that you only need after a ride, or cell phone or snacks or extra inner tube, tools, etc...

There is no place to put a cable lock. However for an extra $35 or so you can buy a lock attachment from Yakima that provides a short cable that is secure. Since it is short, you will probably also need to use an additional cable lock to get all four bikes.

Yes, it can. You have to adjust the bike on the rack, but the durable nylon straps will hold the bike on the rack...

I would say yes. I purchased this rack because it was the only one I could find that could carry 4 bikes and beach cruisers wide tires. I've been pretty happy with it other than its heavy and if you use it on a hatch back, you cannot open the door without taking the bikes off.

No, it doesn't lock...neither to the rack or to keep it closed. It has plastic clips for both purposes but neither is defense against theft. You'd have to remove it when you leave bike and that damages the clips over time (mine broke after about 5 months of near daily use). Still not bad for 20 bucks

You're probably good to go with a suspended rack IF you have a fender over your rear wheel. The bike frame plus the fender mounts will likely keep this bag away from your spokes.

Yes, you can. The strap (attaching) loops in the back are "bulged" on the top to accommodate a cable. But, here's the thing: the loops in the back are cheap plastic. I cracked one of the two loops on mine just by tightening my strap too much. So, if your thought is to secure this with a heavy metal cable and lock to prevent theft, I'd forget that idea. You'd need to put it in a strong box for that. Cheers.

Yes. You can use the u-bar lock to lock the cable to. Or you can have a separate lock to use with the cable.In short, they're two separate locks that can work in tandem or separately.I hope this helps.

I use mine to carry motorcycle luggage. You might get a better answer to your question by contacting the manufacturer.

My racks are secured in a garage so I didn't need a lock loop. I looked at mine and there is no loop that I could see unless they're saying you could run the cable through the two bottom bars which you could do. It won't be the strongest or most secure, but it will lock your bike.

Yes. You can vary the arms and secure it inside the vehicle. I just leave it outside. It has security lock for both the rack and the bike. VERY NEATLY DESIGNED.

Yakima carries some brackets, locking and not locking designed specifically for bikes.I have carried a couple of bikes inside the basket, which works ok if you're carrying a bunch of other stuff.It's a good sturdy rack, was easy to mount and move from car to car.

Yes, you can position the wheel mount close enough to the bike frame in order to use a U-Lock, as long as the U-Lock isn't too short.

The "L" brackets at each end can be moved to accommodate any size bike. Yes to mountain bikes, that is what I carry. One of my bikes is a youth size.

I personally can, given the way my bike is designed. The chain is plenty long (though hefty to the point of awkwardness during your first few uses...I got used to it). It is so long that in order to bike, I have to creatively wrap it around several of my bikes rods so it doesn't drag or get in the way. It's a great lock for a high-crime area.
