Where do you keep your bike?

bikeboon

For instance, my road bike happily lives in the wardrobe together with suits and shirts. Wheels go on a specially designed hanger separated from the clothes, and the frame is covered up before going home. 2-3 minutes each way.

Where do you keep yours?

Errrm...

You know, there are places where lots of (good) properties at best come with a balcony... Garage? Garden? Need to look those up in a dictionary

Mr Plum

The Tricross gets thrown in the shed. The Dolan gets delicately placed in the study

Garou

Next to my bed.

The MTB, tourer/utility bike and project bike live in the shed. The roadie is beside me as I type this in my living room, pointing towards the front door, prepped and fuelled (well, with a full drinks bottle in one of the cages), eagerly awaiting the morning launch window.

EDIT: I hope you're not casing our gaffs!

in our hall surrounded by oil and grease stains thankfully we've not started decorating this part of the house yet! :P

MattJ88

Yeah, at work the bike sites next to my desk

Nice Bikes in the house, we have stands... Dirty bikes live in the shed.

At work, they hang outside on a rack, unless it's a weekend and there's less people about and they can come inside.

MrChuck

MTB and commuter in the shed, road bike in the kitchen. At work either on the stands outside, or in the office if there's nobody else in.

rubertoe

At home - in the spare room of my 1st floor flat!

At work - in the bike shed of our underground carpark!

In my old flat - we only had 1 bedroom - so it used to be kept next to the bed!

I leave mine in the leopard enclosure in the back garden.

I too would like details of where you keep your bikes, particularly the security arrangements and what you think your bikes would be worth on ebay please.


I've got two road bikes and a cheapo MTB, they all live in the alleyway from the front to the back of the house, all locked up safe and sound and covered by the intruder alarm. Although mine are worth less than £1k combined so hardly worth stealing anyway!

jamesco

Side of the house, in the elements, not chained to anything.

We hope that they won't get nicked, but replacing the bikes would be a lot cheaper than replacing the carpet or putting up with the hassle of them inside (our tiny flat).

roadbike- conservatory delicatley balanced on all the junk currently stored in there.

MTB/commuter - in the hallway

other bikes - outside in the garden covered by a tarpaulin

phy2sll2

In the study, on one of these, all three of 'em.

KonaMike

I cleared out the junk cupboard under the stairs and then slowly introduced the idea to the wife that, having spend a lot of money on the road bike, it was an ideal place for it !!!

In work it gets put in the store room upstairs .

Mtb still in the shed..... covered in mud !

At the moment:

Road bike/commuter - in the hall.
MTB and part built "project" - in the living room, tucked behind the sofa against the wall. It helps that the project doesn't have handlebars yet.

In my defence, we're redecorating, so the study that they would normally live in is empty by necessity, and the spare bedroom that would otherwise make for some storage space is filled with it's own furniture plus everything else that would normally go in the study.

Commuter :- Garage

Winter bike :- Garage

Fair weather bike :- Kitchen.

All areas fully alarmed.

I live in a studio flat - so its next to me at all times.

At work I have it in my office. One of the joys of being a PE teacher.
