Hello,

My wife and I rent an upstairs apartment which is entered through a porch on the side of a house. This porch is somewhat unsecured. It does have doors and screendoors but otherwise open. We both have new mtn bikes (under $300 each) and want to secure them there for ease of use instead of me bringing them up and down the apt stairs and putting them into spare bedroom.

I am thinking of some sort of bracket mounted into beam of porch wall and locking both bikes to it via kryp cable or u-lock (dont have yet).

The other thing is we have no renters insurance..(I know dumb!).....so is this just a real bad idea?

I would like to hear your solutions to bike security...

I live in VT and its not L.A. or a war zone...
