Hi, just preping for our first proper camping trip.

We went camping a couple of years ago for a short weekend in a small two man tent. We took two old bikes that we had at the time, and locked them to a fence next to the tent when we went out during the day and at night.

Our bikes are now better bikes and at night I could lock them to the roof rack on the car, but during the day if we go out in the car what can we do with them if there isn't a convienient fence to lock them to?

What do others do when they take their bikes with them camping with regards to security?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi when we take the bikes we just paddlock them altogether usually behind the tent. We've had no problems apart from RUST!

This is what I do too, but our bikes only cost £150 -£200.  It would be really useful if more campsites offered proper facilities for parking bikes, particularly as some people combine camping and cycling holidays. 

I bought a Dahon folding bike so that it can stay in the car all the time and do not have to worry about chaining it up 

It is a very well spec'ed bike and cost a small fortune, hence it lives in the car.
