Yes, but in French it’s cave à vin, literally cave of wine. Also called a cellier, or cellar.

He says, "bikecave" in his video. What he doesn't say is "Robin! To the bikecave!" But probably because he doesn't know a Robin. I could fill in. Just need to change my user name and find a vintage red/green/yellow kit, which doesn't sound too hard.

But again, a cave may be a fine place to store the wine, but again, I don't want to drink it there.
I'm just remembering all the places in France that had la cave in the name, some of them were pretty nice.

Yes, I guess that's the silver lining. You actually have to do a little work to ride a bike, you can just sit there and mash a pedal to show off.
