    hi all, not sure if this is the right place for this thread but i was wondering if anyone has any ideas to lock the detachable bags on my bike.

    they are the quick relese ones so if i leave it parked somewere with them on anyone can just open the bags pull the clips and walk off with the bags.

    i got them because the bike replaces our second car so i was planning to use the bags to pick up shit from the shops etc, but im a bit worried about the walking while im not around.

    Not sure what the clips look like, but what about a bit of thin multi strand stainless wire with a loop crimped in each end and a padlock?

    You'll have bits of wire dangling around every where but should stop would be thieving assholes unless they are really determined...

    Don't worry so much, most people don't realise how easy they are to remove.
