How/where do you store your bikes?

[Tri Girl]

They have their own bedroom. Since we don't have kids (nor do we want them), the spare bedroom is for our babies; the bikes.

in my basement... all 6 of them.

My road and mountain bike stay in the garage so I have quick access to them. DH's bikes stay out in the shed. LOL......He keeps telling me that I should put my bikes out there too and make more room in the garage but I ride just about everyday and I want them close so I can keep an eye on them.

Used to put my 2 babies on a floor/ceiling rack.

Donated my old TREK last year, so my SPecialized was leaned against wall in hall until recently.

Now its on the wind trainer in the living room where I sit an pedal a bit each day trying to get my butt re-accustomed to the saddle (its been a while).

Why not ride outside, you ask... I have a bad case of De Quervains in my left wrist. Can't shift, can't brake - well I can but it involves screaming and crying On the trainer I can sit up and not use my hands at all.

They are scattered all over the basement level of the house - mostly leaning against walls.
1 bike in the garage - my commuter.
2 bikes in the furnace room - DH's road bike and his flatbar road.
1 bike in the laundry room (which is technically all one room with the furnace room) - my road bike.
4 bikes in the utility/"garden" room - 2 mountain bikes, 1 cruiser, and my old road bike, which is currently on loan to a friend of mine for the summer.
Oh, and the unicycle is usually in the utility room too, but that's on loan to a neighbor's son. We reeeally expect to get that back....soon.

In the storage building.

The 2 road bikes that we ride every day are permanently mounted in the back of our Town & Country van!! Yep - we took out all the back seats and DH built a platform with front tire skewers bolted in. We take off the front wheels, roll them on to the platform and front fork locks into the skewers. We hang our helmets on the shopping bag hooks in the back. Our shoes, heart rate monitors, rain gear, bike tools all are stowed under the platform in big, flat plastic tubs. I'll see if I can get a pic to show.

The rest of the bikes are in the garage, including the 1949 Schwinn that DH's granddad used to ride. Weighs like 50 pounds - LOL.

There hasn't been a car in my garage since 1999.

But it's so nice to see you back here!!!

My bikes have their own room too.

-- gnat! (And yet, I need another bike. NEED!)

I live in a 2 bedroom condo. Currently, my 2 daughters and I have 5 bikes. We have access to bike storage out back - behind our building. I store my daughters' bikes and my old Trek (which I plan on selling soon) in the storage unit but I won't store my Madones there because space is a major issue. There are way too many bikes there - crammed into a small space. For those of you who keep your bikes on a rack or stand in your home, would you please recommend the brand of rack or stand that you use? Thanks!
