Tiz Rather Windy Don't you know !

So the wind picked up, noticed that the bike shelter had broken it's fixtures so they were up graded, however tonight it's tried to take off again :(

So currently used cargo tie down straps to attach to ground ancour & bike & lots of spare parts, got to be close to half ton, will take photos later for next pride, hopefully bike will still be under cover & not airborne overnight.

got a bike barn for my, erm, ahem, shed overflow storage problem, its like a big folding siver cross pram cover, or if you like, a convertable car roof, it lifts and folds to open, been up for 18 months now, wind neever bothered it yet.
perhaps you need to look to formula 1 steve, instead of screwing it to the floor, you need to fit a spoiler to the top to give it ground effect, that way, the stronger the wind, the more secure it is..........
