Hello all.


I'm sure we're all aware by now that bike sales have gone up and more people now own them = less places to store them i.e bikeway + cyclehoops. I've just come back from working in various places around the country and have had no luck finding any storage for my bike what so ever. Live on East Dulwich Estate in a tiny studio with very limit space. I've contacted the council and they're not taking grant applications for storage at the moment or seem interested in putting in more cycle storage. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?

Stay safe x

This is a local guide on how to get bike parking https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/campaigns/how-to-get-secure-cycle-parking-on-your-street/ but I gather you have tried this line already.


If you have any outside space (I'm guessing you don't) or spare cash (ditto) then this bike shed is very secure https://www.shedstore.co.uk/7x3-asgard-access-plus-green-metal-bike-shed-4-bikes?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq6m0lfjR6gIVS7DtCh0qXQ47EAYYBSABEgIdufD_BwE


You probably know all about getting your bike registered. The police like this one https://www.bikeregister.com/. Vandalise your own bike before someone does it for you etc.


Join the London Cycling Campaign and benefit from their insurance cover https://membership.lcc.org.uk/insurance-legal-advice. Check your household insurance (f you have it) and see if it includes stolen bikes.


I'm not sure I'm being very helpful. If you lived in Nunhead I'd offer you a place in my bike shed. Maybe someone nearer to you than me, might do that.

    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
