My trainer is on the back deck. I leave my shoes and kit (shorts and a light base layer) in a bag by the back door, so I can jump on there as soon as the kids are gone to bed.
I leave a can of sunscreen in the garage next to the bikes, so I can always spray myself all over heading out on a ride (or run).
I always snip zip ties right where the end goes into the catch. It’s usually the easiest place to get your snipper in, and it means you still have a shortened zip tie for whatever use may come up.
