Olympic and World Cycling Champion chooses Secured by Design accredited Bike Shed from Asgard Secure Steel Storage
Welsh cycling star Elinor Barker MBE is one of a number of Team GB stars to place their faith in a Secured by Design accredited Asgard Bike Shed to protect their valuable cycling equipment.
Welsh racing cyclist, Elinor, who currently rides on the track for Welsh Cycling and Great Britain, and on the road for Wiggle High5, is an Olympic, two-time world and four-time European champion in the team pursuit, as well as a world champion in the points race.
The Centurion Cycle Storage Shed supplied to Elinor is a large all metal, weatherproof (Galvanised Steel) Bike Shed, boasting an integral metal floor, a heavy duty 5 point locking system and a ventilated roof to reduce condensation.
The storage shed is UK Locksmiths approved, LPCB approved and Secured by Design accredited.
Inside the cycle shed, Elinor’s riding equipment is secured on internal shelves and heavy duty hook packs, with an internal bike rack and track frame hangers. The shed also includes power for keeping lights charged and ready for action.
Andy Heath, Asgard said: “We were thrilled when Elinor originally approached us, to have a sports person at that level approach us was just amazing.
“Elinor had several bikes and frames to store, which she needed quick access to, as she trains every day. So, we actually designed a bike rack and a frame holder just for her. These were so good, we made them part of our standard product range.
“Since Elinor we have supplied bike storage for a number of team GB riders, From Ellie Dickinson to Laura Trott and Jason Kenney. It’s an absolute thrill for me as a club cyclist myself”.
