Simple ideas are always the best. The Hiplok Airlok is a secure wall-mounted storage hanger that saves space and puts your bicycle out of the reach of thieves.
Hiplok’s range of stylish wearable bicycle locks is being joined by what the British company describes as the world’s first high-security bike storage hanger designed for use inside or out.
The Airlok is compatible with almost every type of bike. The simple design makes a thief’s life difficult by placing the gold-rated lock mechanism out of reach.
The non-pickable key mechanism has been tested by the Locksmith’s Association and is the same design used and proven in the gold-rated Hiplok bicycle locks.
The Airlok can be pre-ordered for £99 via Kickstarter.
What’s wrong with keeping your bicycle in the shed?
Assuming you have a shed, thieves now target them specifically for the bicycles within and as a result, many cycle insurance companies now insist on a high level of door lock security. Cycle insurance from the ETA has a sympathetic policy towards keeping bicycle sin a shed; you can use any type of lock to secure the door and the bike doesn’t have to be locked while left inside – although if it’s visible through a window you have to cover it with a blanket or similar.

Protection for you and your bike
Bicycle insurance from the ETA is a robust policy that includes as standard everything that will be important to you. We never devalue, we don’t charge extra for things like third party liability, personal accident or friends and family cover, and we have a sympathetic policy on storage in sheds and garages.
For 25 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. We have been voted as ethical this year. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered. We never devalue bikes no matter their age, we allow you to buy a replacement bike wherever you like, we replace stolen quick release components and we handle claims in-house. Can your insurance provider say the same?
Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.

Great idea. Sadly, the Hiplok Airlok only works for men’s bike with a bar across. Ladies bikes don’t generally have one.

It’s good to have asite that supports cycling but everything you deal in is expensive. Your cycle products are expensive and so is insurance.
ETA
ETA cycle insurance costs as little as £1.85 per month. If we’re slightly more expensive than other insurers, it’s because we are different – for example, while other insurers devalue bikes, we always replace new for old
