Interesting article also nice to know I live in number 10 for bikes stolen. However I would not dare store my bike outside, my outhouse doors are paper thin and my house backs onto a back lane with a low fence and gate access. Currently all three bikes in my household are stored under the stairs in a bike rack and are all chained together and the rack, they want one they have to take the all plus a heavy rack. Failing that I could always rely on my trusty guard cat who hates everyone on planet earth who does not live in our house and my army of pet rats who will do anything for a boiled egg guarding my bike included

376,000 households admit to storing their bicycles in the bedroom

Um, people who live in bedsits?

Well, technically mine are in the bedroom, I sleep in the spare bedroom, but if there was somebody else sleeping in the spare bedroom I would sleep in the bedroom ... with the bikes in it ...

The "top 10 bicycle theft hotspots" - isn't that just all the regions of the country? So, essentially if you live anywhere you might have your bike stolen.
Blimey - who'd have thought it?

Kept mine in various places over the years, bedroom, under the stairs, hallway, dining room, spare room (was 'study' in a 2 bed flat (read hovel) I lived in as a student) now kept in the downstairs loo

One of mine is outside. The other is in my bedroom, but that's because I'd rather look at that in the morning as opposed to a poster. Or a pile of dirty laundry. And I have the space for it.
