An attachment locks a bicycle rack and/or a bicycle to a vehicle. The attachment may have a rigid body with a first end adapted to attach to a portion of the bicycle rack and/or a bicycle, and a second end adapted for insertion into a trunk or hatch space of the vehicle. The first end may include a loop, clasp or pivot joint which attaches to the bicycle or bicycle rack. The second end may be provided with an angle section joined to the rigid body via a radius. The second end is thin and flat, to allow the second end to extend into the trunk space and remain captured in the trunk space by a closed trunk lid, without interfering with operation of the trunk lid. An anchor may extend through or project outwardly from the second end, to resist attempts to pull the attachment out of the trunk space by force. A trunk bar has a loop section and ends adapted to be secured into a trunk space.
