Where do you store your bike with little room?

Hiya guys,
I was just wondering, for those of you like me who have little room and live in flats/apartments, where do you store your bike? I used to put my old MTB in the hallway (which is often left unlocked by others) but with soon to be a shiny new Giant Defy 4 on it's way, I'm keen to leave out that option.
Where do you guys store yours? Can you get indoor stands so the bike isn't leaning against stuff with the risk of it falling over and damaging being reduced?
Bit of a vauge question I do realise.
Cheers

I use something not dissimilar to the above in the garage X 7, and then I use one of these in my diningroom:
Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
Marin Palisades Trail 91 and 06
Scott CR1 SL 12
Cannondale Synapse Adventure 15 & 16 Di2

It's a genuine problem for a lot of people since UK housing is getting smaller and smaller.
Personally I use a hook similar to this http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk ... 028-770631
My bike hangs up by the front, wheel and the rear wheel rest against the side of a shelving unit to stop it from swinging free.0 -
Personally I have one of these in the hall way if not in use it folds away nicely or use it as a coat hanger..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/15121446 ... 0&ff14=1080

Mine normally stays in the boot of my car with the seats folded down.0

I've got 5 bikes in the 2nd bedroom of my 2 bedroom flat. Not normally an issue but when both kids are staying overnight, the bikes need to find another home...4 in the lounge and one in the hallway. Its a right struggle and one of them needs to go (bike that is, not one of the kids)!WyndyMilla Massive Attack | Rourke 953 | Condor Italia 531 Pro | Boardman CX Pro | DT Swiss RR440 Tubeless Wheels
