A low cost, small footprint garden bike store

“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，如果能找到合适的存放方案，他们会想要一辆自行车。”对于许多自行车拥有者来说，特别是那些居住在建筑密集地区、室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自行车并使用它的次数。房屋外的自行车在栏杆上拴着锁或链条，但自行车经常暴露在室外，在众目睽睽之下，鼓励投机盗窃。有时它们被织物防水片覆盖，不方便穿上和脱下，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室内，挂在走廊上的挂钩上，或者通常挂在家里的周围，这样会造成交通堵塞，使生活空间变得杂乱。在前花园建立小棚子或自行车店的趋势也在增长，但这些都是昂贵的，通常会违反规划条例，在某些情况下，户主被迫拆除这些避难所。** _自行车公园是一个紧凑的，低成本的自行车庇护所_****_方便，美观，而不是一个碍眼的街景建在前面的花园_****_同时提供保护免受天气和盗窃。_**自行车公园的概念是基于利用低成本的塑料板材料，可以压制/加热形成一个整体铰链。“自行车公园”的计划制造成本为20英镑，零售价格不到目前产品的一半，还有其他好处：“占地面积更小，更适合放在前花园”“更安全，更防盗”“美观，不太显眼”“送货成本更低/消费者更容易从商店取货”“更容易DIY家庭组装/安装”

"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"
