The way I figure it, the smaller the door, the more secure I can make it, and the more resistant it will be to being kicked in.
I may make it taller, however, and have the double header wall frame also act as the door header.
I'm also going to need to redo the cladding so that there aren't the skinny little bits at the bottom that you can currently see.

If you hinge the door at the top, it'll keep you dry while you manouver the bikes.
Make the whole face one big door so the forces will pass into the sides of the shed rather than the face of the shed. It'll be easier to add some braces to form nice strong triangles in the sides, than trying to strengthen the wall surrounding a small door.

Why not make the entire facade one big double door?
At that size it's almost just a big closet. :)
