Ordered it last week and it got delivered to my family's restaurant this afternoon(cheaper shipping to business). Just brought it home and put the bike in it, so far it kicks ***. I'm going to move it to a new location tomorrow and I'll take some pics if you guys want. Well worth the money for anyone who doesn't have a garage to keep the bike or just wants to keep dust off the bike.

damn nice, but damn expensive

 

id definately pick one up if it were half the price, but for pushing 350 it better have an espresso machine inside.

i think you could make something similar (maybe not as good looking) but for a lot less

 

Nice if I did not have garage!

 

holy ****!

I wonder if this is any good against theives? This or chain? I live in an apartment complex with a shared garage thats somewhat underground. Cars get jacked all the time. Maybe this would be really helpful.

 

Weighs 75lbs and cost 350? Damn id rather use a bed sheet + i have a garage so it makes a sheet practical.

There are other options(bike barn etc.) but after checking out all the options this one seemed to be much better constructed. The solid base and ease that the cover moves is also a huge plus. So far it seems to be very well put together.

It might be helpful because you can lock it closed but it still is easily cut open by anyone who wants to see inside or steal your bike. I live in a good area and up a long driveway so I didn't buy it for protection against theft as much as protection against the weather.

And it comes delivered fully assembled. Most of the 75 lbs is the base that you actually park the bike on. Bed sheets and normal covers were considered but they become a real pain in the *** when the exhaust keeps burning through them. No part of the CycleShell touches the bike so you can just pull the bike in it and pull the cover over it as soon as you get home

 

how long does it take to put on? you should time yourself--

also, do you have any links to these 'bike barns'? though this does seem more practical and convenient.

Bike Barn: http://www.thebikebarn.net

I'm not going to go time myself but I would say that it takes maybe 20 seconds if it's already open and a little more if I have to get off the bike open it and then ride into it. Ride the bike in, turn it off, pull the top over it and put two metal pins into place.

 

i would definately take the cycleshell over the bikebarn... just looks like a better unit, but dam still pricy.

 

I think they look pretty good never seen them before

Looks like your bike is out in the woods camping. lol

 

how about a bike bubble? http://www.carcoon.com/bike.html

but for a small price of $1800, you can get one of these. Get one of these, put a chain on the front wheel and a disc lock in the back and it'll be pretty damn hard for someone to steal your bike
