I have a back patio that has a roof overhang against the house for about 2 feet. I'm thinking about getting a floor to ceiling rack for outside. We don't get much rain in the summer so I'm not too worried about weather but I could use ideas on how to secure the bikes. Any ideas on how to rig up something with chains, locks, whatever? It's a back patio so the bikes will be out of street view but still, I'd be nervous about leaving bikes unprotected out there. Also, any rack recommendations would be welcome. Thanks!
You should look to resources from your local bike group. Look to see how the area you are planning to live looks and then decide if maybe the bike needs to come inside with you. Is your place in a hot spot for theft? https://projects.oregonlive.com/maps/bikes/thefts
