Just wondering would my husband's bike melt if we kept it in the conservatory? or cause any damage? thanks

The heat might age tyres, brake hoods and saddle faster, while the portion of UV light that escapes the glass might over time damage the laquer.
Let's say that if it is a very expensive bike, you can find a better place for it... at least over summerleft the forum March 20230 -
OK...will need to get some brackets then! Currently kept in spare bedroom but that will soon be becoming a nursery so is getting evicted! Brackets in dining room I think! thanks!0

Can I be the first to say that you're obviously a very understanding lady
My bike has to live in the garage. If my wife found it on the wall in the dining room, I'd be soon living in the garage too.0 -
I've had UV cause some yellowing on white painted parts of one bike but (perishing rubber aside) I doubt it would cause real damage.
Got to agree with Ugo though, it would be better in the shade somewhere.0 -

Congratulations ! Baby, that is exciting !
Good work letting hubby keep the bike indoors also.
AlHey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!0 -
Thanks, I was hoping it was a phase that would shortly fizzle out but nope...he is currently cycling from John O''Groats to lands End! Everything else in the house is my way so better let have him one thing!! x0

ditto - except for the word "living"..... "dead" might be more accuratekeef66 wrote:Can I be the first to say that you're obviously a very understanding lady

Well done on this... You are obviously a very understanding wife... My bike is only allowed in the house when I am wheeling it through, before heading out on a ride... and I get moaned at for that even...
Garage it is for me still...0 -

Would that stop any damage? Our conservatory does get quite hot...was thinking if we open the windows on a really hot day..but a blanket is a good idea!
if we had a garage it would be out there-unfortunately only a shed! x0 -

Could this possibly be why he's so keen to spend so much time cycling?

Is your husband one of the lads who's cycling with James Lawson? I wish them all the best, JOGLE in 8 days is quite a feat!0

Even with a blanket it is going to get hot and you can't account for the times that it gets hot when nobody is home, the dining room idea sounds like the safest one0

Wish i could find someone who was happy with my bike in the dining room!!
Dont forget Vicky, dishwashers are by far the best method of cleaning oily bike parts, the bath is an acceptable place to clean the bike off, and dirty bike gear might get stolen if left outside so in the house is fine (any floor will do). 8) 8)0 -

Dirty bike gear and tools are constantly lying around the place anyway!! I am beginning to realise from you all that I have been a lot more forgiving than most! x0 -
Throw a blanket over it job done.0

Not a bit of it. Our other halves all encourage us to buy more bikes and ride more, because that will make us healthy and live longer. What, you wish we'd die? Oh.vicky257 wrote:
