Safe bike storage

5 replies

Moving to a new house & I want to put a storage thing at the front with our bikes in so it's easy to get them out

But they need to be secure

How? A plastic Keter store is too easy to break into - we have good locks but long term storage needs to be quite secure I guess

I guess you don't have use of a garage? Definitely the most pleasant option - when we lived in a terraced house, we stored the bikes in our living room; they could be securely locked to the house at the front, but then people would steal parts from them (with tools).

Another option would be to put in a bike hoop (the sort you see in public places), either attached to your house, or concreted into the ground, then put a shelter over it. The bikes would be locked to the hoop, and wouldn't rely on the shelter to keep them safe.

That's what I was thinking - something cemented in

I need it to be easy to get in/out - I can remember struggling with my bike in a lean to as a child

Maybe an alarm on the door too?
