Ashling Cashmore & Asgard Storage Sheds
Ashling Cashmore’s Front Garden Bike Storage
When Asgling Cashmore needed bike storage ideas for her front garden in central London, she knew exactly who to ask. Her sister Clare Cashmore, a multi-Paralympic medallist and long-term Team GB athlete, has been an Asgard customer for years and owns several of our bike sheds herself.
Clare pointed Ashling straight to us, and as it happened, the timing couldn’t have been better.
Perfect Timing
Katie Archibald, another Team GB rider we work with, was moving house at exactly the same time and needed to return her Access E bike storage unit. We collected Katie’s shed, checked it over, packaged it up, and sent it straight to Ashling in London. Sometimes things just work out!
The Access E Bike Storage Unit
The Access E is one of our most popular solutions for e-bike storage, and it’s easy to see why. Large double-door access makes getting bikes in and out straightforward, while the lift-up lid with stainless steel hinges gives you top access as well. The full metal integral floor provides strength and security from the ground up, and you can bolt it down to concrete for additional peace of mind.
Inside this weather-resistant steel enclosure, you’ll find mounting plates for adding power sockets (installed by a qualified electrician), perfect for charging e-bikes overnight. Two stainless steel locking points with heavy-duty locks and solid steel deadbolts keep everything secure. These aren’t token locks that look good but don’t work - they’re genuine security that insurance companies recognise.
The whole thing is made from weather-resistant galvanised steel, designed and manufactured in our Yorkshire factory. British weather isn’t going to be a problem.
Why It Works for Central London
Living in central London creates specific challenges for bike storage. You need something genuinely secure because bike theft in the city is a serious issue. You need it to be weather-resistant because bikes worth thousands shouldn’t be left exposed to the elements. And it needs to look smart on your property, not like an afterthought.
The Access E ticks all these boxes. It’s compact enough for front gardens without dominating the space, secure enough for the city centre locations, and professional-looking enough that it actually enhances your property rather than detracting from it.
What Ashling Says
“We are delighted with our Asgard bike storage. Easy to put together, looks great, practical, and is really secure - so important when living in central London. The staff have been so helpful - definitely 5 stars for customer service!”
That bit about security being important in central London? That’s the reality for anyone storing bikes in urban areas. You need an Asgard bike shed that actually works, not something that just looks secure.

When Athletes Recommend Your Products
“It’s always good to be recommended by the public, but to be recommended by a professional athlete is praise indeed. The Access E is a great choice, packed with security features, and is a really tough piece of kit.” - Andy Heath, Asgard
Clare Cashmore has been using Asgard bike sheds for years. Katie Archibald trusted us with her bike storage. When Ashling needed advice, the recommendation came from people who know bikes, know security, and know what matters. That means something.
