How do you lock a Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar?
Question:
Is there a way to lock this so someone cant take bike off? Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Womens, Childrens, and Alternative Frame Bikes Item # 64005

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar itself does not lock in any way.
I recommend to anyone purchasing a bike rack to purchase a cable lock for use with the bike rack like the 10' Long Cable Lock, part # e98891, which allows you to link the bikes on the rack together and through the spare tire.
A package like the Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch-Lock and Cable, part # S64031 can also be useful in improving security. The Hitch Lock and Cable set links a cable through the rear wheel of the bikes to a lock on the hitch itself, helping to deter and prevent theft of the bikes and the rack itself.
