kitemonkey Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Vicky terrace and don't want to wheel bike through our newly done up hall. The bike is only worth 300 squid so don't want to go for an expensive metal storage thingy. Do you think a bike cover and dlock it to the railings (set into concrete) would be ok? Or is it better out of site in a wooden shed like thing?Thoughts/personal experience appreciated.Ta Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16095-how-do-you-store-a-bicycle-out-front/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lying Toad Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The Toad suggests,Try two raw bolts from Homebase, 6" or so long, with loops on the end. Drill a couple of holes into the wall and then insert the bolts and tighten up with a spanner. You can work out the height & distance apart according to your bike. As an extra measure, remove the seat pin and with an allen key pack (they are light and compact to carry) adjust the handle bar stem so you bike is now flush against the wall.Finally, put a cover over it!Enjoy!

Lying Toad Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 BTW, Put the bike to good use on Sunday mornings with the ECG Eycle Group, its FREE and good fun! They are heading out to the O2 on Sunday morning for a light brunch and then back again for midday!TLT Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16095-how-do-you-store-a-bicycle-out-front/#findComment-416601 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJKillaQueen Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 If you must keep it outside (not adviasable probably).....get yourself a couple of these anchor pointsanchor pointThe beauty of these anchor points is that when the lock is through it they can't be unscrewed. I use them in my garage for my motorbike. Use good quality locks and make sure both wheels and frame are locked. You could also fit a bike alarm.
