I want to mount this to the back of my bike on a rack. My question is does this crate have holes in the bottom of it so I can zip tie it to my rack?

I don't know about mounting it on a bike, but the bottom of the crate does have holes in it. Plus, the way I see it, is its not that expensive and its great storage!

Yes it does. I also put it on my quick release rack by using the straps to hold it down and it's nice and snug and my dog loves riding.

Receiver does have a hole for pin but the DoubleDown (4 bike) has bolt that locks tight w/ a key for security. The pin goes onto side of receiver for added security keeping bike rack from falling off while your driving. The locking pin seems sufficient in preventing that from happening as it locks tight w/ very minimal sway while driving. I have 3 bike racks & this is my favorite as it is relatively light, sturdy & secure. Well made product.

I sometimes go for a run in the park after riding my bike. I use a cable lock fed thru my tire rim to secure the bike and rack to it. Doing the same to just the rack should work for your purposes. I hope this info helps, good luck! :)

It has a bit of slack on mine for a thicker tube. if not, you can add a large Zip tie not only to fit it but to secure it from people taking it. I zip tie everything on my bike anyway. I live in NY.

Does yours have some cushion parts? Where the bike rests in? Better yet, does your bike have casings ? Most bikes come with those. So far my bike which doesn't have a casing for cables, seem to be okay. I think you might look at how your placing your bike in strap area. And if your hard with your bike that too could be the problem. I am sorry that you are not having a good time with your bike rack.

go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube.

Yes I've had a strap break at one of the holes. But the other side of the hole is still attached. It seems like another strap is getting close to breaking too. Not sure how to avoid this. I use it as a double bike rack the most so I've been moving the good straps to the main rack and the broken/weak ones to the supplemental 2 bike rack that I rarely use.

We mounted ours upside down in the cage. Connected to top and side of cage with zip ties

Only with some heavy modification of the seat post mount as it's designed for smaller diameter tubing posts. If you are comfortable drilling metal and have a quality hardware store nearby then yes. If not, look towards a pannier bag setup/DIY mount a plastic crate.

As is pictured, it attaches to the port (left side). I double checked to see if it could hook to the other side of the trailer/ bike and it will not. Hope that helps!

Make sure your tow rope is long enough. I've never noticed holes on the bottom. If it is holding air in the tube and inserts, I wouldn't worry about it.

There is no bottom piece so it does not zip. I actually don't recommend this item. We have a small Chihuahua and no matter how many stakes we use to attach it to the ground, he works his way out of it. Good luck!

There are bungee-cord straps that hook the bag to your rack. Just be sure not to forget to strap them on...made that mistake twice and ripped the bungee cords off the bag once I started riding

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

Yup. We connected ours to a crate we had. We had to do a little engineering to prevent our dog from climbing through a small hole. If you have to have a top, it might not work

The two bars on the top frame connect along the long end of the crate. There is a black plastic connector in the middle of the frame that has some kind of spring in it. Just pull it back and bring the two ends of the bar together. Do this for the front and the back. It should be pretty simple.
