I could do with some advice. We are currently relaying the patio in our small garden (an estate agent might label it a courtyard garden). After that, I need to consider where to put two road bikes.
I have two options, mount them on an external wall using something like this and somehow weather-proofing this arrangement with heavy duty tarpaulin. In the diagram attached, this could be either of the two red boxes. Alternatively I could go for an Asgard two bike locker, which would be the green box. I'd prefer the bike locker - it's more weather tight and more secure, plus gives us more outdoor storage. However, in a limited size garden, it uses alot of floorspace and leaves only about 2 feet to squeeze down the side of the house. it is also expensive.
Any other solutions I'm not thinking about? And what choice would others make to store 2 bikes, (one a carbon synapse, the other the wife's bTwin).
