Newbie question about bike storage and temperature

So, getting into cycling and the acquisition of a new bike brough me into a "debate" with the wife as to where it should be kept. I naturally wanted it in the house.
Also naturally, I lost the debate
So, a shed* in the yard it is. Is there anything I need to worry about with the resulting low temperatures my bike is going to be exposed to? Be it the carbon, cables, hydraulic fluid etc? Or am I just worrying about my new baby unnecessarily? :roll:
*suitably secured, locked, alarmed etc.

Now for reals, I keep my bike out in a shed too and as long as it's dry I really can't see there being any adverse effect to storing it like that.
The other option is really pushing it with the "better" half until she exiles you, then you can sleep in the shed and share body heat with your bike and jobs a good 'un
Ah well, into the cold shed she goes then
Well thats the wife dealt with, where do you intend keeping the bike?
took me ages to get it off and it really hurt ....... so regarding storing your bike outside, if its really cold don't put your lips on any metal bits .... buy a carbon bike !
I know nothing will stop a suitably determined thief, but I guess all we can do is make it as difficult as possible for them.
Depending on how much room/spare time you have, this could be a suitable option...
My son's bike (he doesn't even live with me) is in my bedroom.
Mind you, the Mrs is long gone.
eh .. the missus is gone and you are only storing 2 bikes ..... dude N+1
PS. I have 4 bikes in the dining room and 2 in the shed

Shame. I have mine at home. And it is up on the wall beautifully. And making good use of none used wall space right behind the door. Every guest comment how good and cool it looks. I have one of those fancy bike hangers on the wall that can be secured by d lock. I also have a security camera looking over it 24/7.
Fine work sir, I have 3 in my diningroom on one of these.
