"In a survey of adults across the UK, 40% do not own a bike and 20% of those said that they would like a bike if they could find a suitable storage solution. For many bike owners, particularly those in built-up areas with limited outside space, the problem of storing their bike securely and conveniently has limited the amount that they want to get it out and use it.Outside houses bikes are attached with D Locks or chains to railings but the bikes are often exposed to the elements and on full view to encourage speculative thieving. Sometimes they are covered by a fabric waterproof sheet which is not convenient to put on and off and not effective at keeping the bike dry.The solution for some bike owners is to keep their bikes inside, hanging on hooks in hallways or generally around the home where they cause congestion and clutter up the living space.There has also been a growing trend to erect small sheds or bike stores in front gardens however these are costly and will generally fall foul of Planning Regulations and in some cases householders have been forced to remove these shelters.**_The Bike Park is a compact, low cost bike shelter_****_that is convenient, aesthetically pleasing and not an eyesore to the street scene when erected in a front garden_****_while providing protection from the weather and theft._**The Bike Park concept is based on utilising a low cost plastic sheet material that can be pressed/heated to form an integral hinge. With a planned manufacturing cost of £20 the Bike Park retail price is designed to be less than half that of current products with added benefits of being\*smaller footprint and better suited to a front garden\*more secure against theft\*aesthetically pleasing and less conspicuous to thieves\*lower cost delivery/easier for consumers to collect from store\*easier for DIY home assembly/installation"

在一项针对英国成年人的调查中，40%的人没有自行车，其中20%的人表示，如果他们能找到合适的存储解决方案，他们会喜欢自行车。对于许多自行车车主来说，特别是那些居住在建筑密集地区、户外空间有限的人来说，安全方便地存放自行车的问题限制了他们想要拿出来使用的数量。外面的自行车上安装了D锁或铁链挂在栏杆上，但自行车经常暴露在自然环境中，而且可以全景观看，这鼓励了投机性盗窃。有时自行车被防水布覆盖，不便于上下，也不能有效地保持自行车干燥。对于一些自行车车主来说，解决办法是把自行车放在里面，挂在走廊上的挂钩上，或者挂在家里周围，造成拥堵和杂乱的生活空间。在前面的花园里建立小棚子或自行车商店的趋势也越来越大，但这些都很昂贵，通常会违反规划规定，在某些情况下，住户被迫拆除这些庇护所。**_自行车公园是一个紧凑、低成本的自行车庇护所--这很方便，建在前面的花园里，不仅美观，而且不会影响街景，同时还能防止天气和盗窃。_**自行车公园的概念是基于一种低成本的塑料板材料，这种材料可以被压制/加热，形成一个完整的铰链。由于计划的制造成本为GB 20 GB，Bike Park的零售价设计为不到当前产品的一半，并增加了以下好处：\*占地面积更小，更适合前花园\*更安全的防盗\*美观，不那么显眼\*更低的交付成本/更容易让消费者从商店取货\*更容易DIY家居组装/安装“
