Bike Storage dont know what to do

mkurz59

Im heading to college in the fall and i want to bring my bike but my only problem is storing it. I do not want to leave it outside for the effects the weather will have on it and i dont want anything to get stolen. i was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how i could hang this bike on my wall in my dorm room? my only problem is i am not allowed to drill into the wall of the dorm.

I take it you are in halls of residence? If you have space you could keep it in your room, bathroom or kitchen etc. Most unis/colleges will have some sort of bike storage so best to ask as soon as you get there as it will probably fill up quickly.

Workstand? Will keep it off the floor (and come in handy when you want to do some maintenance).

I've got something like this (I take the wheels off and use it in a corner of a room above a unit.:

Not the same brand but pretty similar, found it works great! Two bikes, or just put one at the top and have a test or soemthing below it.

Otherwise something like this:

or a workstand like the post above suggestes:

Personally I think the work stand would be to low maybe for a dorm, depending on the space in there?

Ebay usually sells the same thing but cheaper, might be worth a look out

I'm not at uni but do have the smallest room in the world, 10x6, my bike lives lent against the chest of drawers, plays havoc if your tryin to shag and requires moving when you want any clothes but needs must.

Just never bring anyone back and study/doss elsewhere, simple and cheap.

I have 3 of these - they are brilliant - easy for on and off and cost a fraction
