What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I have been using the Thule Integrated Bike Lock for a season now, and the peace of mind it gives me at the trailhead is genuinely hard to overstate. The rubberized sleeve is a nice touch, too, because my frames have stayed scratch-free even after repeated use on long drives to the mountains."Getting to the trailhead is half the adventure, and the Thule Integrated Bike Lock makes sure your bike is still there when you get back. Whether you are stopping for gas, grabbing a coffee on a road trip, or leaving the car at a busy trailhead parking lot, this lock gives you the ability to step away without that nagging feeling in the back of your mind. Thule engineered the lock around a robust 12mm steel braided cable that connects your bikes to the carrier and your carrier to the car in one streamlined system. The fully rubberized coating on the sleeve means the cable never makes bare metal contact with your frame, so your finish stays clean from the driveway all the way to the dirt. It is the kind of thoughtful detail that reminds you why the right gear makes every part of the outing better, not just the riding itself.
