An unfortunate trend in recent years has been noted by Preston Police Crime Prevention Dept - as the number of people that take to cycling in the city increases, the number of cycles with the potential to be stolen has also increased.
We know that when people have their cycles stolen, about two thirds cycle less frequently and a quarter of them stop cycling altogether. So from the crime reduction, health and sustainable transport points of view, reducing cycle theft is important.
But in busy cities such as London, Manchester and York, cycling your way around the city is not only cheap, eco-friendly, healthy but also very convenient so giving up cycling isnt the solution.
Instead, we advise you to ensure you always protect your bike by taking a number of safety measures, such as using an approved, good quality lock for your bike and never leave it unlocked in a public place, even for a few minutes.
City Cycle Storage Units
The Twin Bike Locker from Asgard is been especially designed to store up to 2 bikes in a compact area, securely in a discreet manner. Fitted with a tough 3-point locking system, this 2 bike store is ideal for areas where space is restricted but bike security is important.
Unlike other bike stores the Twin Bike Locker is accessed from the end so the width of the unit is kept to a minimum – ideal for use down the side of a house or flat.

Be Cycle Security Savvy |
| 1) Always secure your bike, even if you are just leaving it for a minute. 2) Invest in reputable, approved security devices such as a bike chain or D-Lock – such as Sold Secure and Thatcham approved locks. 3) Consider using a second lock or cable so that your saddle and both wheels are secured if leaving your cycle on the street for more than a few hours. 4) Permanently marking your bike will discourage theft and help your chances of getting it back if stolen. Marking/tagging can be carried out at most cycle shops and by the police. 5) Store your bike in a secure storage unit, such as the Asgard Twin Bike Locker when parking you cycle overnight, or when not in use for longer periods of time. Out of sight from thieves means that’s it is less likely to be stolen. |
