Hey Everyone, i'm going to be moving into a small 2 bed flat very soon and i was wondering what do you guys use to store it, i can't drill into the walls as i'll be renting, so i was thinking of either old carpet to put the bike on or maybe a bike bag to leave it in.

Any other ideas or solutions?

    My daughter used an old piece of carpet and then a cardboard bike delivery box with top and bottom cut off and joined to make a long trough to stand it in.
