Securing Bikes in Your House
Austin has been plagued by high end bike thefts lately. The most recent hit a friend and pried open his door, making off with all his bikes and bike tools. We would like to set up a system in our garage to store them but keep them secure. With our stable we don't have room to store in the house. We're at 5.5 bikes with eyes on a single speed and maybe a cross bike for me. DH has 3.5 (one is a single speed work in progress) and has a new mountain bike on order but won't be getting rid of his. In theory we could be nearing 9 some day in the not so far future.....
I am thinking somehow bolt racks to the ground using concrete anchors? Then getting a good heavy duty lock. That will at least make it more than a grab and go operation. Our house faces a busy street where we know many of the neighbors who don't work our hours. So we could easily have someone who knows what we got, we try not to let on the value but anyone who cared could figure it out.
