Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been asked before but do people have recommendations ?


We have 2 bikes ,nothing expensive ,but special to us and I'm getting to the point where dragging them indoors and upstairs is putting me off using the bike . We don't want to go for a wall mounted rack indoors and have plenty of room on our forecourt .


Any recommendations ?

Thanks Red Devil - I have seen the trimetals ones ( and actually don't consider them that expensive for what you get and compared to cost and distress of loosing bike ) just wondered if there others .


What I wonder is how easy it will be to get one bike out if there is another bike in front of it - we dont go out on our bikes together and I can imagine having to lift one up and over the other might be tricky . When one is old and a bit creaky like me .


Sadly locking and covering bike still leaves them open to vandalism so feel will have to go with store .


I cant imagine they need planning permission ,but guess a phone call would clarify .

If you have the room, this double ended bike store could be a solution...

No probs. That one doesn't have an integral metal base and would need a concrete base on which to sit on, unless you have something similar already...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
