Despite the safety measures and cameras in parking areas, bikes still need a safe place when they are not on the road. And when it comes to folding structures like Birdy R20 11SP bikes, you need to balance practicality and security in a keen manner. If the equation between these two factors gets disturbed it can interfere with the comforts of your place, make you less keen on spending desired time on your bike or worse leave it vulnerable to damage or theft.

Therefore, it is essential to give ample thought and focus to the security of bikes. Here are a few tips and tricks that may come handy in this respect:

●    Floor Racks: Floor racks offer the most basic kind of storage that is a few steps ahead of the regular kickstand. There are several other pros of having a floor rack for a bike like it has no special installation requirements, it is pretty simple to move around and simplest of all it can be easiest without any fuss. The downside is that you need to invest a little more amount to avail stable options. Next, these aren’t very compatible with some specific bike models and lastly they take a good part of valuable floor space. Floor racks are most suitable for multiple bike owners like those with children or a big family with several members with their own bikes.

●    Adjustable Stands: Adjustable stands are specifically designed for single individual bikes. They can be linked to one or more bikes and work equally both inside and outside the garages and yards. Adjustable stands are lightweight, foldable, and small in size which makes them space savvy as compared to floor racks. Their customization allows their wide application for all kinds of bike sizes and design.

●    Spring Loaded Cradle: Cradle is a slightly complex safety measure but it totally makes up for its ability to ensure better safety than the two mentioned above. They resemble the floor racks a bit but with the cradles you may roll the wheel that tips the bike ahead to lay against a stable spring loaded support. There are several other pros of this measure like it eliminates the need to lift the wheel over the rack, they are a boon for kids and those with heavier models. Lastly, the cradles are deeper in the rack and are therefore more supported which improves the bike stability to quite an extent.
