摘要

A unit 20 for securing bicycles to a carrier such as a U-shaped towbar mounted bike carrier. The securing unit 20 has a steel cable 35 which can be wrapped around the frame parts of a bicycle (fig 11). One end of the cable 35 is connected to the bicycle carrier and the other end has a plate 30 with a notch 31 in the side. The plate 30 is to be inserted into a slot 27 in the securing unit 20. The securing unit 20 has a lock with a core 24 rotatable by a key 242 where the core 24 acts to turn a locking member 26 into the slot 27. When the plate 30 is in the slot 27 and the locking member 26 is rotated it moves into the slot 27 to engage with the notch 31 in the side of the plate 30 to lock the device. The cable 35 can be retracted into the carrier.
