Today we have a guest blogger -
In the UK, a bicycle is stolen on average every minute; with less than 5% of those returned as they’re difficult for the Police to identify the owner. Current research suggests that cyclists are more likely to have their bicycles stolen than motorcyclists their motorcycle or car owners their cars these days! – Bicycle theft has doubled in the UK since the mid 1990s, probably due to the increasing popularity of expensive models and innovative ways of selling stolen goods online.
Take action against these unscrupulous thieves and protect your belongings, including your bicycle!
REDUCE THE CHANCES OF YOUR BICYCLE BEING STOLEN USING A BICYCLE LOCK.
Only use a good quality lock. A poor quality lock at the lower end of the market can be easily sawn through or bolt cropped in seconds. It certainly pays to invest in the best quality lock you can afford (At least £30 -£40). Always lock your bicycle to something immovable, an object a bicycle cannot be lifted over and cannot be broke, cut or removed i.e. chain link fencing, grilles, gates or trees – check the object is fastened to the ground. For maximum protection use two locks of different types (a D-lock and robust chain and padlock is ideal) Use each lock to catch the wheels, frame and stand – Fill up as much of the space within the D-lock as possible with the bicycle. (See the diagram left). The Asgard screamer lock is brilliant security for cycles with disk brakes!
AT HOME
As many as half of all bicycles are stolen from the owner’s home – Always lock your bike at home even when it is in your garage, flat or halls of residence. Please be vigilant when returning from a ride!! Consider investing in a ground anchor and attach it securely to a wall or concrete floor. For ultimate security, why not invest in a secure steel shed with a decent locking system. Make sure you keep your bicycle out of view of prying eyes as this alone will provide an irresistible incentive to break in to your property.
BICYCLE INSURANCE
If you own a decent bicycle then it is probably a good idea to insure it. There are several ways you can do this; Insure your bicycle on your home contents insurance – don’t forget to cover it for thefts away from home. More expensive bicycles may require specific insurance cover against theft and accidental damage. Consider an insurance approved cycle shed these will not only secure your bike but will often get get a discount off your insurance premiums.
For more help and advice on cycle security.

A Winner!!! Congratulations to Mr Morrison who has won the Asgard £50 M+S voucher for sending in a picture of his Asgard Bike Storage unit and his thoughts and comments.
“I have been very impressed with my Asgard Bike Storage Unit. It was easy to order and it was delivered to my house before the stated delivery time (by at least a week!) which was good. When it came to the assembly it needed 2 people but this was no surprise as we knew this from the website when we ordered. The assembly was very easy with good instructions. I was very impressed with the standard of manufacture as every hole for every screw lined up perfectly! Not once did we have to put a screw in slightly squint to make it match the corresponding hole. It has since kept our 2 adult bikes, 2 kids bikes, 2 scooters and a pressure washer secure and dry even in the recent awful weather. Using it is very quick, easy and convenient. It wasn’t cheap but I think it is well worth the money and I have recommended to several of my friends and got quite a lot of interest when I proudly posted a picture of it on Facebook! I have attached a picture of it completed and in place. I hope you find this feedback helpful and feel free to use it on your website (let me know if you are so I can have a look!)”

The Vertical Bike Locker
Asgard always listen! Asgard products are designed for you. The latest product from the Asgard design team is the vertical bike locker.
Asgard tell us…..
“This tough bike storage is different from all of our other products” we normally design units for regular riders (with multiple bikes) or families. The vertical bike locker holds a single bike … vertically!
“The beauty of this product is that it takes up almost no floor space – its fantastic for clearing space in the garage or shed. Also, as it is totally weather proof, its just as comfortable standing outside in the garden. We think this is the most secure vertical bike locker on the market, with a 3 point locking, pick resistant lock and unique to Asgard an integral full metal full. All galvanized to prevent rust and all covered by a 10 year warranty”.
“We have added our own twist to this product. A heavy duty up and over wheel guide helps you to guide the bike into the locker, then a front wheel retaining clamp drops down over the front wheel to clamp the bike securely. Leaving space either side to hang bags and helmets and ample space on the integral floor for shoes etc”
