The invention relates to a coupling for connecting and/or holding together two parts, in particular for a bicycle trailer, having a first and a second coupling part which cooperate and can be released from each other, one of which is an insert piece which is connected to one of the parts and the other is a sleeve which is connected to the other part, the sleeve being capable of at least partly engaging around the insert piece, and the first coupling part having at least one locking groove (22, 103). To achieve a constructively simple coupling with a simple handling ability, mounted on or in the second coupling part is at least one locking shaft (4, 96) which has at least one locking segment having in the peripheral direction at least one locking portion (31, 131) and one unlocking portion (32, 132), the locking portion (31, 131) having a greater radial extent than the unlocking portion (32, 132). The locking shaft (4, 96) is arranged so that the locking portion (31, 131) can engage in the locking groove (22, 103) when the insert piece has been introduced into the sleeve, and the unlocking portion (32, 132) cannot engage in the locking groove (22, 103). Furthermore, means are provided for rotating the locking portion (31, 131) into the locking position, for holding the locking portion (31, 131) in the locking position and for releasing the locking portion (31, 131) from the locking position.
