Bike Vault to beat bike thieves

What if you need to store your bicycle outside, but are without a garden shed?

Bike thieves always go for easy pickings first, but they are notoriously resourceful and brazen when need be. The upshot for cyclists is that thieves will remove the hinges from a garden shed, pull aside fence posts to pop open side gates and even demolish a garage door to get to a good bike – even if it means doing it within earshot of a house.

A good cycle insurance policy is sympathetic to this problem and will cover bikes in sheds without specifying a standard of door lock, but having a bicycle pinched is never anything other than a horrible experience, so what alternatives are there to the common garden shed?

Neil Robins and Simon Harrison, two enterprising cyclists from Southend-on-Sea have come up with Bike Vault, a robust storage box wholly manufactured in Britain using recyclable materials.

Those with ETA cycle insurance are entitled to a 10 per cent discount on a Bike Vault and associated locks.
