I lock my bike to railings outside my house. Can the bike parka be used successfully when the bike is locked to a railing?

Yes you can - I keep my bike locked to a railing as well, and always cover it with the bike parka. I do lock the bike as far down on the frame as possible, to be able to cover it as much as I can.

Yes, if! If you lock the bike low on the frame, like near the crank you should be able to get enough of the parka down on the side facing the railing to provide protection. Look at the picture on the left, of the parka in place.

Depends on the position of the lock to the railing. I use a cable lock through both wheels and the rear section of the frame (just above the Chain Stays). So, my lock cable is about a foot off the ground. I can easily cover the whole bike including both wheels. The higher your lock is positioned, the less you will be able to cover.

The cover pretty much goes all the way to the ground. So unless you don't put the cover completely on there is really no way to lock it to a bike rack or railing.

I checked with the manufacturer and this is what they wrote back: "There is no security locking feature that comes with the trailer. I think you could unhook the trailer and fasten the trailer frame to the bike frame with a bike surety chain. In this case the trailer would be sitting next to the bike, not behind it "

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.

I lock our bikes with a bike lock inside the yardstash. You could bolt it to concrete if you had too.

Yes... It just detaches from the hardware attached to the handlebars. Just use one of the bike cable locks if you are concerned.Butch

This is all you will need to make this lock work. What the other guys are saying is that when you use this lock in the rear triangle of your bike (see the picture here: http://sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html), somebody could still take your front wheel. So, if you want to be extra safe, use this in the rear triangle and a cable through the frame and front wheel.

Not really. But I guess you could anchor a chain to the ceiling of the carport and then lock the chain to the bike frame.

If you leave it a place overnight or for an extended period of time, im sure it can. This is not the type of lock you get if you're going to be leaving your bike locked for a while. This lock is great for locking it up to get to class, picking-up groceries, etc.

The bikes should fit. as long as the tube will rest in the holder it will be fine. you can adjust the lock for different size tubes. I do not have any pictures for it is the middle of winter and the bike rack is put away. i really do like the bike rack though. It worked great when we took it about 5 hours away

Sure. In fact lots of people use it when traveling in their RVs. They set it up next to a tree or post and store bikes, etc. in it. Then lock the bikes in by running a chain around the bikes and then pulling the chain through a slat in the back of the Yardstash to go around the tree. Set-up only takes a few minutes - once you already done it and know how.

I sometimes go for a run in the park after riding my bike. I use a cable lock fed thru my tire rim to secure the bike and rack to it. Doing the same to just the rack should work for your purposes. I hope this info helps, good luck! :)

While it would be possible to use a cable lock and secure the top portion to a fence as you would a bike, the bottom has no window or vent through which to do this. I am not sure what someone might do with just the bottom, so that might be enough of a deterent. I will say that the dogs like the house!

Yes you should have a lock to secure your bikes. If you dont use a locking hitch pin than anyone with vise grip pliers or some crescent wrenches can remove the rack (and your bikes if on the rack.)

What I do is take a lock and run it from the hitch chain attachment point (Part of the hitch receiver) and run it to the frame/tires of the bike (like you would lock the bike up at a rack). This basically locks the bike to the car hitch. This way the weakest link is going to be the chain instead of the Hollywood rack. (Unless a thief wants to remove your hitch, Hollywood rack, and bike as one assembly!) I have left my bike locked this way overnight in multiple locations without an issue.

I'm not sure what your brakes look like, but I am pretty sure you can find a way. The reality is, you just need to add it as a deterrent so they move to the bike without a lock. Anywhere you place, it will make the Nike harder to move. If they "really" want your bike, there's no wheel lock that will stop them from picking it up and putting it on the back of a truck. Right?

You have to purchase a lock separately. It has a place for a lock that connects to the red screw handle to keep it from turning - but not just any lock. It is a specific accessory you have to purchase. But, you can also use a standard bike lock to lock your bike to the rack. As far as locking the rack to your car, this rack does not support that at all. You'd have to come up with your own solution.
