Question:

How exactly would you lock the bikes to the rack? I watched your videos but didnt see this demonstrated. I understand the anti-wobble lock that secures the rack to the hitch, but not sure how you protect your bikes.

To lock the bikes to the Swagman XC Bike Rack, # S64650, AND to lock the bike rack to the hitch you can use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks, # S64031. Or, another option is to just use a cable lock, # e98891, and wind it through the bikes and rack and tow loops on the trailer hitch.
