Bike Storage

[Nanci]

I've kept bikes out in Florida humidity in the shed for four years, and in a garage for several years before that- they're fine.

My bikes live in my living room. I worry about theft and the elements anywhere else. To me they are art. I've even seen cool stands that allow you to hold two up against a wall so they don't take up a lot of space. For example: http://www.nashbar.com/profile_morei...u=12288&brand=

I would think humidity would be better for them (any rubber seals, etc.) than a completely dry environment like Arizona. My bikes live in a garage that is never opened except through the small door and it gets hot in there. The only thing I worry about is spiderwebs, which seem to appear overnight out there.

Thanks ladies for your feedback! I really appreciate it. We hung them upside down in our bedroom of our previous apartment in DC - it was such a tiny place that it was the only place they could go. I think we were really excited to not have the bikes living on top of us in our new place, but now with the prospect that they would actually leave our sight, I guess we were getting nervous.

Good to know that they survive Florida humidity - if a bike can handle it in FL, ours can definitely make it in NC. I really like the bike stand though! The descrition says - "attractive enough to grace the walls of your living room". Maybe it will be the new art in our living room
