Living in New England, we get more cold weather than warm. The winters are far too cold for me to ride outside. At any rate, we, as do many here, have an enclosed front porch.

I installed one of those floor to ceiling tension bike racks. My beautiful Epesi is on top, my roomies new Trek Navigator on bottom. The porch is the main entrance to the house so it is very secure. Plus we have 3 dogs that always let us know when someone comes in.

As for transport... I drive a Jeep Wrangler, thus I have a spare tire rack on it. Epesi get wet when we travel, but it's my only option right now. Am actually looking at new cars with inside bike transport in mind. Was gonna get a Jeep Liberty, but the Honda Element (butt-ugly on the outside IMHO) is equipped so cool on the interior that I may not be able to resist.
