Hello All,

I'm going to be buying a bike once I have my security ready for it. Was wondering what you would buy if you didn't have what you currently own. I'm definitely going to install a tracker.

I'm lucky enough to have a garage at home. It's a concrete base so I'm happy to put in a ground anchor. Am I best combining this with a big heavy chain and lock?

My other option would be to find a compatible D Lock I can secure it to the anchor with when at home but then take away with me when away and use this to secure the wheel instead of a disc lock. Would I still combine this with a lighter to carry chain when in public?

I'm struggling to imagine where I'll be able to lock my bike to a well placed post on most public parking spots. Is it just a case of securing the wheel from moving whilst parking it upright?

Many thanks 👍

The grant available through the boiler upgrade scheme was announced back in November but it has been radio silence since.

We are at the point of wanting to utilise it but our installer cannot get anything concrete out of their contacts about it.

Does anyone have information on timescales here? We can wait on it if we're talking months. But if it is next year we will have some thinking to do. 2.5k would really help out at the moment.

I can only find one site, warmzilla who are stating it won't be until 2027 but they don't say where they got this information from.
