    There's lots of stuff out there. I just googled "bicycle storage", and got results ranging from a wooden shed for £120 to sophisticated metal sheds for 6 bikes for over £1000. I don't have any personal experience: my bikes are in the garage (and that was broken into once: they took my son's cheap mountain bike, and left behind my own, much more valuable touring bikes!).

    Asgard ones are excellent - tough, metal, well designed, easy to put together, very secure.
    As such they are not cheap - I guess it depends how much your bikes are worth and how secure you want them to be

    yeah.. checking asgard right now.. and many others. my bike is a bit expensive so to make sure safe from being stolen. thank you for the info!

    What sort of base will your shed be on? If it's sat on a concrete base, you'd be as well to buy a cheapish shed but secure your bike using a ground anchor directly into the concrete, and then spending a bit on a very secure chain and lock for the bike.

    Alternatively, you could spend a bit more and buy a very plush shed for the missus, then move your bike into the bedroom. That should keep it secure ;-)

    You are aware that you're having a conversation with a 'bot' which is just using AI to make relevant comments, and not a real person.....?!?!

    Its freaky isn't it, i had one of the irritating 'you've had an accident' calls the other evening, it took me at least 3 exchanges before I realised the woman I was talking to was a bot gone are the days of the of the tssk tssk sound from the tape recording, give it a week it'll be asking for Sara Connor
