“Dear PoPville,
Looking for ideas for how to secure bikes outside our house. We’ve had several bikes stolen from our backyard, even when locked with two high quality locks each. Bringing them inside is not an option. Would love ideas for how to secure them. Has anyone used a small shed? Taking off a tire and the seat? Anything else?”
