Olympian Elinor Barker gets an Asgard Access Bike Shed
Team GB cyclist Elinor Barker recently moved house and needed a new secure bike locker to keep her training bikes in. Having recently returned from Hong Kong, winning Gold at the Track Cycling World Championship; Elinor needed a helping hand from Asgard to install the shed.
Space was a little more limited this time, so Elinor opted for the Metal Bike Shed for29ers. Once built; the shed fitted neatly into the corner of the garden; the Green paint finish blended in nicely with its surroundings.
Her old shed was dismantled at her previous address and taken back to Asgard Storage HQ, ready to be used in conjunction with the work Asgard are doing with the charity, Kirkwood Hospice.
