Show me your garage door
But I don't have a garage. I have two barns (upstate).

I don't have one any more. I've had plenty of bikes and a handful of garage doors, so here's a combination from the past:

I'm hoping someone has one of the doors with a mural painted to look like there is an exotic car inside.

I have a garage door, but it's not particularly well-suited for bicycle photography.
So I tend to borrow someone else's door if I need a nice background in the right color:
One time I even went on a road trip looking for nice garage doors within riding distance:
My favorite garage door, however, I encountered on one of my travels in France: that of the Château Margaux, near Bordeaux:

“Planet Destroyer”. Not my door and not my bike, but that is me. A friend and I refurbished this old Raleigh Technium for his daughter. This mural was on a loading dock garage door that was attached to a vacant building across the street from my shop. There were several other cool murals on what turned out to be a phony tacked on facade. The building is now undergoing a complete restoration. The mural walls and garage door have recently been removed revealing the original handsome brick facade underneath.
It’s a great looking old industrial building, but still, I kind of miss the murals.

That's a "before" photo of the bike, so it was the previous owner's preference. He owned it since 1973 or 4 so I'm guessing it was a flexibility issue. The bike will need a lot of work once the weather warms up, but it has potential!

How about a couple taken from the inside? Reminds me of a Vapors song.
And one from the outside.

There are two garage doors in the background but not mine. In fact I don't have any pics of the current doors! I was just thinking it is past time. I should pull a TriBiker19 and line them up

There was the time I purchased a garage door that was a really good deal...I didn't tell my husband that it wasn't exactly a traditional color. He came home to this.
