We lock them to together with a thick cable, the ones with a small loop at either end and round the bike rack then stick a big padlock on them, never had a problem with it.

I've been reading this with interest as we are taking our bikes with us for the first time this year.

Lots of good ideas that I can pass on to hubby.

Thank you.

We take a long length of thick chain, a good padlock, and secure the bikes together, and the wheels to the frame, and then to a solid tree.

I like the idea of alarmed padlocks tho - the 'noise police'- as deliciously described above - would certainly be swift on the scene.

It's a fine line between not wanting to make it obvious they are prize possessions v making them appear too nickable.

we have always just locked them and left them beside the tent - never had a problem and we have cycle/toured with the tent from Weymouth to Plymouth and also around Glencoe area, plus Yorkshire Dales a few times.
We have a mixture of D-locks and sturdy cable locks. Remember to lock the wheels and the frames! It helps not to have bikes that look too flashy, and I think multiple locks looks more of a deterrent than one super sturdy one. So far we have never had an issue.

wow lots of really good ideas, may try padlocking them to the bike rack (got to get one yet lol!), also will be on the lookout for the alarms as that is a brilliant idea..keep them coming, and thanks for all the info
