    Recommendations?

    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!

    I store mine in the shed; the kid's outgrown bike is in the basement. I should move that to the shed, or sell it!

    I bought a small storage shed for my balcony that is big enough to fit my mountain bike with the tires removed. It should work to protect the bike from moisture.

    Should I be worried about temperature extremes? For those who keep bikes in a shed or other place that's not climate controlled, are there issues caused by cold or hot temps, like damage to cables or anything like that?

    Thanks

    I rearranged my room this year so that there is enough space for my bike. She has her own wall.

    Ours are in the garage - all over it. Between the junk, the tools and all the biking stuff, we no longer park our car in there. The previous owner had 4 hooks in the ceiling for bikes, so we use those. One bike is usually on the work stand and the rest are propped up around the rest of the garage. I think we have 8 or 9 right now (most belong to my H), but that is constantly changing as he's got a sickness when it comes to bike.

    I may suggest that we move the good weather road bikes into the basement once the winter rain arrives. It would be more secure down there, I think.
