Ground Anchor in wood?

If using the bucket approach, you might want to consider a "trug"; a high capacity gardening bucket like these. There is no way 45 litres of concrete is going anywhere easily!

NB: As it'd be so heavy, I'd only recommend this as more permanent measure as disposing of it afterwards would be a real pig (most likely pick axes/stone cutting angle grinder to cut it into managable chunks).

I've a sneaking feeling that might fall through the floor.

I am unsure of the weight-to-volume ratio of concrete but mine weighed 50kg after I was done with it...just FYI!

Alternatively 10 litre bucket filled with mercury. That will also go absolutely nowhere

Surely if it's knocked over, a bucket of mercury will go everywhere?

As long as it is on your side and protecting the bike then it`s all good baby

also depends on what type of wood floor. some times old wood floors are solid and with a coach bolt through em i dont think it would go any where, if we are on about newer floors then probaly the concrete tub idea.

i always found a good alarm helps me keep peace of mind, other than tht i just chain round the rear wheel.
