Emily is a five-time Ironman finisher who qualified for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, and is a Liv Cycling UK ambassador. She needed a secure storage solution for her growing collection of bikes, exactly what Asgard is known for!

Emily recently moved from London to Yorkshire and faced a familiar challenge: with no garage on the property and a wooden shed that didn't feel secure enough, she needed proper bike storage. The Asgard Access Plus E-bike shed was perfect for the job. With high-security features, a full metal integral floor, and large capacity (and of course, Secured by Design status), this versatile unit was ideal for Emily's needs.

Emily commented, "I've wanted an Asgard forever. It is the perfect solution if you are in London, where not many people have much storage space, and it can be quite dangerous to store bikes. Now living in Yorkshire, we don't have a garage on our property, so it was like 'where are we gonna store our bikes?' and I've started to grow my collection now that I'm up here. Didn't really feel secure with them being in our wooden shed, and I know Asgard sheds are police recognised, and everyone recommends them as the number one safety solution for storing your bikes, so I'm excited to have one!"

Who Is Emily Bell?

Emily Bell is a five-time Ironman finisher who qualified for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. As Social Media Manager for Super League Triathlon and a qualified PT, triathlon coach and Pilates instructor with quite the online following, Emily knows the importance of quality equipment. As a Liv Cycling UK ambassador, she owns multiple bikes and needed a storage solution that could accommodate her growing collection whilst keeping everything secure.

What is the Access Plus E Bike Shed?

The Asgard Access Plus E is designed for cyclists who need space, security, and easy access. Built from galvanised steel, the shed features large double-door access, a lift-up lid with stainless steel hinges, and a full metal integral floor for added strength and durability.

The Access Plus E is Secured by Design certified and features a 3-point locking system with stainless steel locking points and solid steel deadbolts, making it a highly secure bike shed.

Emily also added a subfloor, two shelves, five hanging brackets and a ground anchor to maximise her organisation and security.

Available in a choice of three powder-coated colours (green, brown, and cream), the shed is UV protected and comes with a 10-year warranty. Emily was particularly pleased with how well it matched her property: "I'm also so happy how well it matches my path, my house, my shed, everything! That was an unexpected surprise."

Alfie Hosker, Secured by Design, said: "Emily joins a growing number of athletes and influencers who trust Asgard to protect their valuable equipment. From Ironman competitors to Olympic athletes to A-list actors, Asgard's commitment to security and quality makes them the natural choice for anyone serious about protecting their bikes. We're delighted to see another talent benefiting from SBD-accredited storage solutions."
