How do you guys keep your bike safe at home? Do you keep it in the house, lock it in a shed, or just doss it in your back garden? What measures do you use to keep your bike from being stolen when not in use?

Thanks

    Motor bike chain lock, fixed to an anchor point fixed in concrete in the floor of a locked garage. My car also lives outside!

    Oh and just for good measures i have an attack alarm (the type that ladies carry in there handbags) clipped to the back wheel which is cable tied to a shelf. If someone does attempt to move the bike to get a better look at the lock then the alarm will go first. And it works as i do forget from time to time Bloody LOUD! :P

    I had a Austrian come and build my bike safehouse. I shall try to find his number, but IIRC we just called him Fritzy.

    In the kitchen and on the kitchen wall, or is the living room. Can't see the boundary between the two rooms.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    1.7 tonnes of immobilised and alarmed car is a very handy doorstop for the garage...

    Sits in my garage which has the doors open most of the day :shock: They get closed at night at least. I should work on the storage system, like get it up off the concrete floor which apparently is bad for the wheels.

    Mine is currently kept in the kitchen... although soon there'll be a wife invading my space :-) so it's going to end up in the shed - ground anchor and hu-u-u-ge chain/padlock ...

    Well the frame goes in the shed, the wheels go under the stairs.

    So if it gets nicked I'll be selling a cheap wheelset.

    Or buying a cheap frame
