Best Bike - Where do you keep yours
Comments
-
well if you come home and find someone has half inched bits of your bike I expect you'll know the answer to that one. It will still rust outside because of the damp, humidity, frost, dew etc
half inched? Not familiar with that one.
Rusting while sitting outside is a good enough reason to begin negotiations with Mrs. 2891. It's moving into the front hall.0 -

At the moment I am having a (gentle) argument with my (non-cycling) boyfriend about this. My alu bike lives in the shed. I cannot bear to leave my new carbon one in the shed all winter, a) in case it gets nicked and b) I don't want it to get cold. If I had my way, it would live in the bedroom or living room. Funnily enough, he doesn't like the idea... :roll: :evil: :x :? 0 -

Wow Bagpuss - impressive collection. Thank goodness my husband only collects (small) Man city memorabilia. Is it kept in your garage?bagpusscp wrote:A lot of it's on here {mostly the classic ones and other bike stuff. :roll: The bikes are towards the end.

Mine are in the spare bedroom, which I intend to fit with some proper security as soon as I can get round to it. Might be cheaper to hire a security guard.
Eels! Eels!0 -
Mine resides in MY study, along with my computers and my beer fridge.
It would be rude to leave it all cold and lonely in the garage (that's if I could find the room).
As it's MY study, it doesn't affect my less than understanding wife.There's no such thing as too old.0 -
Carbon one is sat on the turbo in the conservatory along with 4 big plastic boxes full of kit. This is a continous bone of domestic contention.
Winter bike is under a tarp between the shed and conservatory out of sight, and spare wheels are kept in the kids toyshed...0 -
My wife said she does not want to see any more bikes in the house - she's fed up looking at bikes and tools in the dining room :oops: - the thing is we have quite a big house, 8 bedrooms, but I'm too lazzy to go up to the second floor with my bikes :oops:
So I just bought myself storage space for my bikes - she doesn't know it yet but I'm sure she will be more than happy

Road bikes in the house; various MTBs have a more feral abode in the (fairly large) garden shed.0

I keep mine in the East Wing Drawing Room. It easier to get it in and out through the kitchen and the staff quarters. Its a bit of a trek from the living room in the West Tower, but my staff look after it well!!0

I live in a one bedroom flat (2nd floor) with no shed and no garage. But we so have a shared bike store (like a small garage) and it`s locked up in there. I thought that was ok until I started reading this thread, and it seems like most people keep theirs inside in the warm. Is it really that bad for a bike to be "outside" ( in a garage) ?? They are designed for use outside arent they ??
p.s. it`s not a multi million pound bike either, cost £ 650.And on the 7th day...............
God created...........

That's just spiffing. Surprised you don't keep them in the stables, obviously, but it sounds like access via the kitchen is handy, especially if Cook rustles up a little tiffin on your return from the Sunday hack. Hurrah!"There are holes in the sky,
Where the rain gets in.
But they're ever so small
That's why rain is thin. " Spike Milligan0 -
Maybe I could leave one at my Parisian lover's apartment – could do the Sunday morning spin around Bois de Boulogne then – or her sister's villa at lago di Como.....0

i currently live in a shared house so my road bike tourer and mtb live in my bedroom 9on a stand next to thhe radiator to keep them warm, but i am getting married soon (april) and have permission to build a 18sq metre workshop at the bottom of the garden for my bikes and hers current plans are for electric heating, lights, a hookup to the house alarm, water (for washing the bikes obv) and a fridge (for the beer) the great thing is that i have permission for all this from her ladyship and have already started the plans (best mate is an architect and is working on it as a favour) can't wait to get the house and lay the concrete foundaion slab, i plan for it to be a mixture of a lounge, a pro workshop and fort knox, just what the doctor ordered.

This is a constant battle in our house. I bring my best bike in on a Friday or Saturday evening under the guise that "I'll be up and out early in the morning and wouldn't want to disturb anyone by having to get it out of the garage". I managed to keep it on the conservatory for a few weeks on the trot and thought that I had cracked it but then wifey had a few days off and started tidying the house, rearranging furniture and all that annoying stuff women do and I come home to find the bike is gone and back in the garage. Beer, the reason my ambitions have not become my achievements0

Before you do anything more on your construction project, check out two essential books for inspiration:
Men and Sheds
&
Shed Men
both available from Amazon. Ask for them for Christmas.
My shed, the Millennium Shed (aka Humble Administrator's Pagoda), is of brick construction with a pantile roof, woodburning stove, benches and a table, a small shrine, home cinema screen, large collection of empty malt whisky bottles, toy cable car, broken skis and multi-spout alpine drinking vessel. It also has some garden tools, but they are in the way.
My bikes used to live there, but they won the lottery and moved away. One of them is on a world cruise and the other has taken a croft in Harris and is writing a novel.0
