I don't see this as being a common problem as most people don't have a spa, hot tub, or pool.
I do have a room for my bikes, though.

This is quiet pertinent to me, actually. I am housesitting right now (longish term), and the hot tub is in the living room, where my bike is also in the trainer!
(Have to say...love the hot tub in the living room...)

In my former house, I had a hot tub on the back patio and stored my chemicals in a waterproof cabinet under the roof overhang. I never tried putting my bikes near it cuz I had a huge garage but I did store my metal snow shovel next to it. Never saw a problem so that box was apparently worth it's high price for many reasons.
I'll keep that in mind for the future when we finally buy a place out here in OR where we live now and put in a new hot tub again. (my old creaky joints can't wait. 
)

Here's a great blonde moment I had yesterday:
DH and I had a seminar all day in Sacramento - about an hour and a half away. We left in a rush to get back because our daughter was home alone, and by the time we got back I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. I rushed into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me without bothering to turn the light on. I noticed this strange flashing light coming from..???
I finished my "business", and then peered around in the bathroom to see where the flashing light was coming from.
Was it the smoke detector? No. A light from out on the street? No.
Finally, I called my daughter in to try to figure out what the heck this was...
...it was my Bluetooth headset. On my head.

You have no idea how reassuring I find this story. I KNOW I would have done this if you hadn't served as an example first. Thank you for your service. Originally Posted by maillotpois

Zen - I like the decorative touch of the doggie on the exercise mat. Seems there's always photos of pets in Better Homes & Gardens, casually laying about.
