A great idea, but at over £400, I can't see it taking off. You could buy a couple of sheds for that. I know it's very different, but when you're looking at the price tag, it's hard to swallow.

I was just about to look this up on the web but at £400 I dont think I'll bother. Half the prioce and I would have been interested.

I have to agree with pintoo. For a lot of people, a bike is a hunk of steel and plastic bits that cost less than £100. I can't see them spending £400 on a steel locker to protect a bike that cheap.

The other downside of this locker is that it announces that you have decent bikes that are worth stealing, hence will tend to act as a magnet for thieves in the first place in the same way that house alarms do. It's unfortunate, but true.

I live in a semi-rural location with room for a big solid shed so no interest to me.

However, for urbanites with little outside space and expensive bikes to protect this seems like a good idea. I wonder if bike insurers will reduce their premiums for owners of such a storage solution. That might make the price easier to swallow.

i like the idea, but couldnt find a link tot he site so googled it.., nice lookin box, but i too couldnt pay £399.00, and thats with the current offer of £151off! i would love to know how many they sell in the uk this year. im guessing less than 399.

Prefer the look of the Tridoor Bikeshed. £289 from B and Q, have done a set of plans to my own dimensions to utilise the space/put some quirky design features in. Struggling to find a shed builder who can do it near the price. Think with wood, as it ages it would gain character. Big steel box, going to get dented/start to rust and just attract a bit more attention. Also, if space is a premium for the owner - they should have used some of the internal wasted space (ie, in the top corners) for a storage system. Place to put your helmet/track pump/spares. Seems to be a lot of wasted space, for the size of the thing!

What a load of garbage .. this wouldn't stop the kids near me, it would only attract attention.

They would have it open in seconds and they wouldn't stop trying till they did.

I have one of these boxes, mine is actually inside a shed - not the idea I know, but the peace of mind knowing they have to break into the shed, deal with the shed alarm and then break three locks to get into the bike box, once in the bikes are secured to solid locks attached to a ground anchor concreted into a foot square lump of the stuff.

It wasn't cheap at £399 but with 3 decent bikes to store I can't think of too many other options.

I'd leave my sub £500 commuter in there, but my Cervelo is staying inside my flat.

It was not cheap at £399, so going up to £429!? For what in actual fact is a empty steelbox, with a cantilever hinge, by the look of it. Hardly warrants any design awards...

I would echo most of the opinions below;

a sub 100 GBP bike I would lock to railings outside my flat or in the hallway, my more expensive bikes are currently in doors p**sing off Mrs B

I'm looking for a soution like this but I don't think this is it. At 400 quid I could get a nice shed and put some decent locks on it, have tons more storage and not a box that screams "I'M FULL OF SHINY THINGS". I'm gonna look up that B&Q one though

In my experience, insurer's sometimes do you the huge favour of reducing their premium by as much as 10% if you can demonstrate you've invested in security. 10% of £80 (typical bike insurance premium) is £8. It'd take a long time to make that kind of discount count against the outlay for the item.

Security is always an issue, but also look out for second hand industrial storage, like the Portasilo range, very secure, but you may need a friend with a transit to bring one home.

Big enough for four bikes and kit, ventilated to allow your soggy bike to dry and a Chubb five lever lock and removable handle so security is excellent.

£50 to £80 but you have to look hard for a good example.
