[color=#191970]Hi, im a very keen cyclist and triathlete. Im also a student in my 3rd year of a 3d design course, for my major project I am designing a new style of bicycle storage system. The current style of galvanised steel tubes and concrete blocks have damaged my bikes on the past and dont prevent wheels etc being taken. I was wondering if any other cycling enthusiasts have bad stories regarding current designs and any suggestions for improvements or additions. What do you need from somewhere to lock your bike?
Please help me out with advice/comments etc.
Thanks.

My tuppence worth pretty much reflects what you mentioned but in order of precedence:
Secure back wheel without the need for more than one lock
If securing to a bar maybe allow it to move as bike frames etc are not always the same size
Maybe some rubber to avoid scratching
Cheers
So a stand with a variable width could be a great invention.
The other thing- pretty out there I know- but do fellow riders get fed up with dogs taking a pee against your pride and joy? Don't care too much about the MTB but panniers covered in dog p.ss not pleasant and I hate to know what urine would do to my lovely road bike. It's like they just see a bike and go "whee (scuse the pun) I can put my mark here!".
Maybe your stand could come inbuilt with automatic water skirter or dog dazer!
Happy inventing![:D]
Any further suggestions or new ideas, feedback etc would be great!
Cheers...
Would it only be a matter of time before coating is scratched off and start to damage frames?
A new system for locking bikes is definetly needed, but one to serve all I.Qs Keep up the good work.[:)]
