Question:
I need to transport my bikes on a long distance trip. I have a 2019 crv with a 2” hitch, Allen bike rack, and 3 bikes. What would the best lock/locks be to ensure that the bikes and rack aren’t stolen while unattended. Thx for you help.

Expert Reply:
The simplest and most effective solution to lock your bikes and rack to the hitch of your 2019 Honda CR-V would be to use a cable lock like the etrailer cable lock part # e98891 which you could route through your bike frames and back through the safety chain loop of the vehicle. This would essentially lock everything to the hitch which is connected to the vehicle.
