We have four shortish lengths of 10mm-link chain, roughly a couple of feet each. It takes about five minutes to separate it with the angle grinder which seems fairly secure.
Lengths of hefty chain from a wheel clamp have been welded to a bit of scaffolding pole and locked to the walkway with high security padlocks.
The start of the alternative plan was to weld bits of chain to a length of steel scaffolding pole. Some high-security padlocks would be nice or the chain may just get welded to itself.


A couple of the bits of chain have cylinders on the end that could be used for a d-lock, these will probably be incorporated somehow.
It takes a few minutes with an angle grinder to cut the chain or the pole which seems reasonably secure. Someone in the space will probably notice the noise.


AJP has committed to getting this installed by the 6th of november and seeing how if it gets used or if anyone complains.
There was some mention of a representative of the landlord being grumpy about bike storage. Someone on the list said they were waiting for clarification in november 2011, no updates that I'v noticed.
