Bike Storage

[Jim77]

Just looking to move from the country into the city and the propery has a rear yard with a side gate, so looking to get some secure storage for my stumpy as at present i have room to keep it in the house.

any ideas?

Does this rear yard have a shed? I have a shed and I cut a hole in the shed floor with some power tool I borrowed off a friend. I then dug a deep hole, about 10cm wide/30cm deep with a crow bar, and then concreted a steel ground anchor into the floor. Make sure the hole starts thinner and goes a little thicker as it gets deeper, this means once the concrete has set only the incredible hulk would be able to remove the ground anchor from the floor. I then use kryptonite cable for my wheels and a thicker reinforced steel chain for my frame. Also, you could always buy a big dog!

Get a shed and sleep in there with your bike?

Bring the bike inside - leave it in your bedroom if needed?!

Ah, a 'shed thread'! About time we had another of these!

I keep mine safe in the my bed with me and the gf has moved to the shed, she is still comming to terms with her move but im happy

Make sure you have good insurance and just lock it up well?

i keep mine indoors - sheds offer no/little protection.
ikea do cycle hanging stuff - £25 all in, no bolts/screws in the ceiling and a bike tub from EBC to stop the drips after a spot of rain outside.

This guy is a very serious cyclist!!!!

No bike of mine goes in a cold, lonely shed.

Presently I have: 1 in the hall, 1 in the living room, 1 in the laundry room, 1 in my wife's office (she uses it on the trainer), 2 in my office. 1 in the closet.

3 insured.

My SCR and Fixed wheel are both locked in the shed.
My TCR is wrapped in a blanket in her own bedroom. I go in and read her a bedtime story every night and tuck her in... My wife thinks it's a bit odd, I can't understand why!!!

My garden is fairly safe, I just want somewhere to store my bike to keep it out of the weather, and my missus won't have it in the house for much longer. Any suggestions?

Shed / Garage / shackled to drainpipe covered by plastic sheet?

 

[Wally]

Won't bits rust if it's just left under a plastic sheet?
