    Do you have, as some houses do, a narrow "aisle" - between house and fence, or house and outbuilding or something. In which case a strong locking gate at one or both ends will do the trick.

    As has been pointed out earlier, the point is to make it too hard to bother with, one of my mates has an 8 foot chain thru both wheels and usually round a post when out, or thru a floor latch like the one shown before. never has any problems. Repco have some wizz-bang cable locks about 2m long, they also have alarms built in, think they go for about $50 or so.

    Depends.

    On how much you want to keep the bike and deter theives
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    mate its about $400 for a shed thats big enough for ya bike.
    It aint just the security issue--with a shed you can fix ya bike in the dry
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
