  • Can Rack Lock Be Added to Rhino-Rack Hanging Style 2 Bike Rack
  • The Rhino-Rack 2 Bike Rack # RRRBC045 doesn't come with bike or rack locks and since the only way to accomplish this is by wrapping a cable lock like part # e98891 around the bikes, rack, and trailer hitch I recommend checking out a different bike rack instead.

You will still need a cable lock like part # e98891 to lock the bikes though. For a 2-bike...
