storing bikes outside?

[lip03]

So I have just picked the misses up a new bike (well its new to us!) My living arrangements aren't the best for keeping multiple bikes. I live in a cluster house with no garden or garage I do have an area down the side of my house hnder my kitchen window the only thing to lock to there is a gas pipe, is there anything I can secure the bikes with a little better than a gas pipe with d-locks round it? Also keeping bikes dry out there! Any suggestions would be great!!

Fit a Sheffield stand, properly of course?

You could install a GROUND ANCHOR.

Whats a Sheffield stand?? The ground anchor looks like a good idea but it would have to be fitted to the wall as its grass down the side of the house, could it not just be unscrewed though?

It's a bike stand, like you see in the street, you need concrete though

Something like this to attach to the wall?

I doubt it would be that simple but TBH I don't have one myself so I'm not sure.

Aaaah I see well thats a little excessive I suppose and like I say it's grass so not going to work either... definitely going to look into an anchor though!

That looks a little better thanks vickster!

I assume you have serious D locks for starters?

These are cool and you could attach more than one bike, think you'll need a motorbike chain and D locks
