"Expensive" bikes - Where do you store them?

At the moment I only have a Keter Plastic shed but that already has a hole in it from a rogue fence panel. That has a couple of cheap bikes in it, but they aren't worth much at all.

What storage solutions do people use here? I was looking at an Asgard metal bike storage shed but in total it would work out to nearly 50% of the cost of my new bike, which seems ludicrous.

Unfortunately I don't have a garage, or anywhere in my house I could store a bike.

Bike is 19kg so I don't really fancy lugging it up and down the stairs. Hallway might be an option actually but it won't be pretty.

Having an extra £750+ will be pretty though.

19kg?! Is the frame made of lead?

It's an Ebike.

Technically it's pedal powered though, as the motor doesn't run unless you turn the pedals

ah!

Get a proper bike and you might be able to get it up and down the stairs!

/only kidding. But I do have a passionate hate for ebikes.

I've got a Cube Hybrid as well. Like I said it's in the very unsecured shed.

Asgard say delivery for metal bike shed will be December, which is ridiculous anyway.

A well known chain of smaller DIY stores was selling them for less than Asgard, but with C19 stock is low and the prices now match the Asgard site. Bought one earlier this year, and it's worth the money. Managed to get 4 road bikes in the '3 bike' Asgard Addition shed.

You can mention them as they aren't an OCUK competitor.
