Need a driveway big time!

KingIsabella

Second time the bike was knocked over in two weeks!! Out on the road in a less then desirable area in the good ol rebel county! Heard the disc lock alarm and a bang, ran out seeing red rattling!! Saw the biys round the corner, 4 complete junkie knackers with sweet **** all else to do but dirnk cans and knock over my bike!! Took a while to get the bike started but then red lined it up the hill, jumped off but a squad car behind me was either in the wrong place at the wrong time or the right place in the right time, i havent decided which yet!! I jumped off seeing red and he stopped me, just as well!!

He said he knows them all by name and hell go talk to them if i want, but since im stuck to the area til may and the bikes on the road it could be a target. My garden is seriously narrow with a huge step into it so getting it in is awkward as hell but ill have to now.

What a night!

What a pain in the a**.

Could you get it in the garden with a ramp? Might have issues with a permanent one but something like above would make it easier, would be relatively easy to make one.

I feel your pain, I used to have to park my own bike on a street also and it was a nightmare, constantly worrying if it would be standing in the morning, or even if it would be there. I asked a shopkeeper in the town could I store it in his premisis (in a locked alley) and he obliged me until another user of the alleyway complained, apparently my bike being there was a "fire hazard" lol.

Gonna have to get something to get it in alright, theres only about 5-6 inches from the road onto the curb, then then a good shout more than that from the curb into the garden, not really a big problem, if i put something like a piece o wood down just to catch the tyre and help it up the curb into the garden. The biggest problem is the gap to get it through is only marginally (about half an inch) wider than the bike which is a dose, but at this stage its gonna have to be done!!

Can you bring it indoors at all?

Not a hope, i can't even get it into the garden. Tried to put a few briks down to get it up the ledge into the garden, the front wheel went up grand, but the back wheel slid down towards the pillar (curb is on a slope).

Friend of mine lives about 5 minutes away, she said i can park the bike in her driveway!

If you're renting and you don't have somewhere safe to park the bike - move.
When I was renting, I always turned up on the bike and in full leathers when looking for a new place. Got turned down more than a few times, but when I wasn't turned down I had no hassle later. Smoked out the anti-bike wnakers straight off.
But there again I turned down more than a few places because of no off-street bike parking.
Landlords are pretty desparate for rent these days so you should have your pick of places... good luck!
