Abstract: A lockable bicycle rack system includes a mounting clip and a rack configured to detachably couple to a bicycle frame. The rack includes a body, a lid pivotally coupled to the body between an open position and a closed position, and a locking mechanism. The mounting clip is coupled to the rack and includes a base component adapted to couple to a container, a rack receiving gap, and a lever arm having a rack latch that extends at least partially across the rack receiving gap when the lever arm is in a locked position. A side member of the body extends through and is locked within the rack receiving gap when the rack latch is in the locked position, and a side member of the lid prevents the lever arm from leaving the locked position when the lid is in the closed position.

Abstract: A locking rack solves the problem of not being able to securely carry and store items on a bicycle. The system allows for a luggage rack, rack-top bag, and panniers to all be locked together through the use of mounting clips, security rails, and security hooks, a traditional security cable, and a single lock integrated into the rack. The bags, panniers, and luggage racks according to the invention may be attached to the front and/or rear of a bicycle and may be used with any other bags, panniers, or luggage racks; however, the security advantages of the present invention may only be realized fully by using the complete system of the present invention described including bags, panniers, and luggage racks.
