UK’s theft statistics of over 500,000 cycles a year*, with over half stolen from private residences**.
Security, weather protection and convenience are the key considerations when parking your bike at home. You don’t want a thief splintering your shed door and making off with your bike. You don’t want it rusting in the rain. And you don’t want to struggle to get it out and ready to ride each morning.
Any storage solution needs augmenting with a good lock – either a locked door, a bike lock or preferably both. Any lock can be broken, so make sure your bike is insured.
