    Where do you keep your bike?

    As I await the arrival of The Bike (happydancehappydance), I'm wondering where everyone puts their bikes. Where do you keep yours?

    In my garage, which sometimes gets some water in it and which I can lock, except when it's inside on my trainer. (It helps not to have a car

    I live in a condo. My bike hangs on a Minoura bike tower (Topeak has a similar one) in the spare bedroom.

    My Klein sits in my entryway. I ride it the most. My Lemond is in our den. My hybrid, mountain bike, dh's commuter that he does not commute on, and dd's bike are in a mini barn. We ride those only a few times a week and they will be hung up in that barn once cold weather hits for good. My Klein will go to the basement for the winter. It is never banished to the barn. . I'll ride the Lemond over the winter.

    Ummm....everywhere?

    The commuters are on the back enclosed porch/mudroom. The mountain bikes are in the garage, and the road bikes are in the basement. Between DH and I, we have a lot of bikes....

    Mine lives in the living room. I have a 1br apartment--it takes up the space that normal people would put a couch in. I'm trying to figure out where I'd put the hypothetical (right now) MTB and new roadie...
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    In a separate little building that is really a gardening shed, except that it matches my house. I guess the person that built this house was into gardening, but the first thing we said we said when we saw the house was, "Oh look, a little house for our bikes!" Right now, there's just 4 in there, but at one time there were 7 or 8. In the dead of winter, my Kuota comes into the house and goes up in our loft, on the trainer. If it's nice enough to ride outside, I ride my Guru, with wider tires.

    this is a timely thread- we were just lamenting the fact that we have a two car garage we can only get one small car in! All 4 kids are also into biking (mountain, downhill, BMX and road!!!!!) It is a bit ridiculous (: in a good way (:

    One in the mudroom/entranceway. A couple in the garage. There are 3 bikes in one of the sheds out back and I keep one in a utility room at work. (If I leave work on my lunch hour, there is never a parking spot when I get back so tend to ride if I go out!) Not even sure where my new bike will go when it arrives. It will probably mean getting rid of something to make room!

    My husband's Trek 5500 and my Specialized Sirrus stand next to each other in our living room in our small condo. I'm glad to read that other people have bikes in their living rooms, too.

    We spent the better part of yesterday rearranging the garage, finding a good place for the bike. I'm looking for good gear to arrange the bikes, especially if we attempt to resurrect dh's old bike ('cause we can ride together once again!).

    6 are on a custom built bike rack in our dining room. One is against the wall in the dining room. One is on the trainer. Two are in suitcases under the bed (Bike Fridays). One is in the barn in our backyard (rarely ridden). We couldn't find something that would store most of our bikes in the space we had, so DH and a friend built something. We're currently renting, and it 1) doesn't require drilling into the wall and 2) can be disassembled and moved.

    Mine hang from my garage ceiling using an inexpensive and easy-to-use pully system we purchased. It keeps me (yes, me) from accidentally pulling in too far and hitting my bikes (yeah, it's happened), and saves tons of space.
