Ring to lock a bike to ?

Usjes

Hi,

I'm looking for something to attach to a wall in my driveway so that I can lock my bike to it. The wall is about 1.5 foot high so I was thinking of like a mini version of the bike rings you see on footpaths in town (eg attached photo). Basically any half-loop of stainless steel of any shape that could be attached to the wall would do. I went to the local DIY/builder's suppliers and they said they had nothing which was a bit surprising. So, has anyone else installed anything like this and what did they use and where did they get it ?

Thanks,

Usjes.

Bit of a thread here on it, mightn't be suitable for a push bike, but then again, worth a look.

One of these should do the trick, depending on what the wall is made out of?

Depends on the wall, but floor anchors will suffice as wall anchors, provided the substrate is strong and doesn't crumble.

Woodies sometimes sell a Sterling one, which is ok:

But you only have to dig one bolt out of the wall to steal the bike.

One with a a floor to the hoop and more than two bolts would be much more secure.

There's a description of what to do here:

EDIT: I see breezer already said this.
