Intreguid to know the answers to this to as there are loads of bike "racks" of that style in my area.

Contact the building owner if you want to add a floor anchor, get a request drafted with a quote for fitting anchors to all the bike bays, then get other tenants who have had bikes stolen to sign it.

I would appreciate everyone's input/advice on this - I have moved in to a gated community in SW London which has 'secure bike storage'. Realistically, this is just a covered area with this style of bike rack (albeit slightly 'thicker'), that is not visible from outside the estate.
to get access in to the estate, you either need to get buzzed in, or scale a 8ft wall with anticlimb paint - I have heard from other residents that their bikes have been stolen from there (although I do not know what level of security they used).
I really don't have the room to keep my bike in the flat, but it's a Genesis Equilibrium 20 and really don't want it getting nicked. I have a Fahgettaboudit, Evolution Series 4, Kryptonite KryptoLok Series 2 D-Lock & 1.2m Flex Cable at my disposal.
Will the bike rack compromise the security these locks will provide, or am I just being paranoid?
