This is Plan A, I like Plan B also in How to's under Removable interior bike rack, also lockable but no holes in interior. MC
I have spectacular trails I ride near work, day or night I can ride the Tow path from Cleveland to Akron Ohio. http://planning.co.cuyahoga.oh.us/green/system.html
Anyhow, Been trying to bring Bike to work. Got some ideas here and here is what I did.
1st I Make rear compartment locking.

Then I carved out the back of it, installed a recessed plate
on bottom for support and bolted this baby down, A Locking Fork support.

Here you can see both locks.

I used that latch hole and another Velcro strap to secure rear tire.

Yes It really does fit with the door closed! (Giant NRS 2 If you wonder)

The whole deal, And I can still get 3 people in the X with me.
Notice the Velcro straps that hold rim to bike. Quick and easy.

Shot with the seat up.

Now I am ready to ride, I also installed a ratchet strap from one seat latch to other,
A good place to lock bike frame to truck is the hook the seat latches into.
Locks locks locks, Make it to where if you can't use it, neither can they.
this baby is Nailed down no wobble! Off to the trails, LOCKED!
Show me YOUR X! MC
