What's the very best trunk-mount bike rack?

[Art Vandelay]

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. My primary concerns are
safety and security. Are there any rack on the market that allow one to
lock the rack onto the car and the bike on to the rack? My only concern
with a regular trunk mount is that either the rack or the bike (or both!)
could get stolen.

Thanks!

I use the Rhode Gear Super ($90 USD), and it works very well. The velcro
straps are starting to wear out after 8 months every day use, and sometimes
come undone on long road trips. I can set it up on the trunk in about 60
second flat.

I have heard good things about the Saris Bones racks... but I don't know of
any that lock on the car (I, too, have wished there was a locking mechanism
on my rack). The only racks I've seen that lock are the hitch-mount racks,
and the roof racks.

Hope this helps.

I just ordered and received the Saris Bones rack myself.

But.... I haven't had time to set it up or mess with it and
won't till this weekend.

I have heard it is very good tho.
