Keep your bike safe
Whatever you decide to do on your bike this summer, remember to keep it safe. Otherwise you’ll be facing a summer without your bike. When you’re at home make sure it is securely locked up. If it’s not in a shed or garage, don’t leave your bike outside, for storage to secure a bike look at Asgard bike storage units. These metal security sheds are tough and strong, keeping your bike free from theft. Keeping your bike safe at home is just as important as when you are away. When out and about, make sure you have a heavy duty lock for your bike. Thieves are becoming smarter, so only the toughest will do.
