Right on! Both my Trek and my camel share my bedroom — should change my forum name to CamelTrek but don't know how. ;-)

I think that one of the Admins have to change your forum name - I am sure that one will come along and let you know.

Darcy, I hear you! I actually have no other place to store my bike, but it would probably be there if I did... The manager of my forthcoming new apartment told me that quite a few people there just lock their bike to the steps outside. These steps are REALLY outside Perhaps these are just beater bikes, but still, to be exposed to the weather like that and to theft as well....Ms. Explorer certainly deserves much more!

I'm hooked too, no idea how that happened! Oh yes, just that feeling of flying, jeans getter looser, 2lbs off without dieting and getting both my head and my body to myself for an hour or two at a time.

My bike is locked up in my fairly secure garage. I knew that I was getting serious about cycling when I moved it from the garden end of the garage to the road end of the garage

I am an addict as well. My husband often states that he thinks I love my bike more than him. I have to point out to him that the bike doesn't talk back as much as he does...

My bike either lives in a number code locked room at my tri-team home gym near Central Park, or in my apartment. But since bike theft is so rampant here, this is not considered weird and obsessive behavior, just protecting your investment.

Hi. My name is Rita Marie and I am addicted to bicycling too.

My husband says I have "a problem" and if I am off the bike for a few days straight he tells me that I am "getting the shakes" which I interpret as "you are a real grumpy gills since you haven't ridden in the past couple of days". :-)

Yep, I've been like this over the last week. It was a joy to ride my 12 miles today, and am looking forward to tomorrow Still testing the hammie, but thankful that things do seem to be healing.

It is like an addiction. I feel quite grumpy if I can't go out on the bike. I thought it would take a lot more mileage than I log to become a real addiction, but no, even my little slow 12-mile jaunt has become necessary.

I can't imagine storing a bike in a garage. I live in an apartment, so it's a non-issue, but I would never leave a bike where it is so vulnerable. Besides, I think bikes are pretty.
