So my bike's chained to my car, the worse that could happen

So, i left home today and left my bike out the front for once as i plan to use her this evening and she's a right pain in the ass to get out from the back. As i've no ground anchor i've chained her to the rear alloy of my car.

I've this vision of the handbrake failing and the car rolling down the drive, pulling the bike along and hitting something.

So, what i was wondering, does anyone have any recommendations for good ground anchors that will attach to brick / tar. I can't really dig up the drive as it's not my place, i may get away with drilling something into the brick though.

put some blocks behind the car wheels?

or put it in gear (even)?

It's in gear

I would definitely forget the bike was chained to the car, and drive off

You can get ones that bolt down with 4 expansion bolts. Strong double construction steel plate, 4 bolts and ball bearings to hammer in the heads of the bolts. Oxfprd do them. As long as your walls strong, should do the job. The dig in ones would be fine as well, but youd have to dig a hole big enough to put a decent amount of concrete in then dress the tar on the top again. Id go for the former type.

nah, the worst that could happen is probably someone stealin' your wheel to get the bike. then your car rolling away. over the bike thiefe and your bike...

you get small anchor things in B&Q that can be attached to walls. quite sturdy. not easily ripped out. we got one before i got the ground anchor

Get the Ground hog3 from Motrax....comes with six bolts that go in the ground and u have some resin that goes in with them that sets like cement....once a chain is in place there is no way to the bolts....not bad for 50 quid

or they steal your car AND the bike then you're really screwed

A good ground anchor into the wall would be a good temporary fix
