Show us your bike shed/man cave ....

Inspired by the shed of Elijah ....

I'm moving in with my other half soon and gain the exclusive use of a brick building (large garage size) to use as my man cave/bike store/workshop/cycling dressing room.

Occasionally I see the odd room on here in the background and wondered if anyone was up for sharing their hideaway to give me a little inspiration perhaps?

This thread could bloom or fail spectacularly ... Choice is yours :)
Still thinking of something clever to say!

    I'm more concerned about the need for lights whilst using the turbo .....

    OP Your missing the point.,how old are you? And how fast can you pedal? :shock:



    And do you have narcissistic tendencies and look down upon mere mortals who indulge in cake and pie eating?

    Fair play though, looks impressive :D

    I'm not sure I'm allowed to answer those points ...

    I was messaged a "warning" for creating the thread "Bike etiquette 2 -The return of Elijah"

    Don't bother looking for it .. 'Twas removed :)

    Blimey - it's like something from Tenko .....

    Do a search on bb under shed 1 and shed 2. Quite a debate was held ion there ages ago that should sort your problems.

    This is one of Mine. I live in an old police house, so the turbo goes in the old stable, and the good stuff is locked up in the old cells.

    i have 2 more bikes in the house as i ran out off room in the shed.one on a turbo and one in the porch on the wall :D
  • I've just got to find room for three bikes (summer,winter & sons), turbo, some pictures on the wall, a tumble dryer, freezer, coffee machine, digital radio, 1 x storage unit for a Christmas tree, a wardrobe for my cycling gear, tool kit, cycling mags/books and my swinging chair or possibly a small sofa bed.

    Tumble dryer, freezer and tree storage unit are just compromises agreed with the missus ... They'll be built in hopefully so as to not spoil the ambience ;)

    Just looks like a cluttered shed which is a pita to get anything out of.

    Reason for hanging random crank arms up on the wall?
