Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My storage area looks like this for now. We're painting the first floor rooms so eventually I'll get rid of the flowery wallpaper in the background. I apologize for the bad picture in advance, I just can't seem to get enough flash down this narrow area.

In my garage, semi heated in winter (to about 55-60 degrees) and in the summer it can get to around 85 degrees. Hung from hooks

I keep mine in the bedroom hanging from the ceiling in the corner. I'm surprised by how many of my riding buds keep their bikes in the garage, where temps will fall to the low 30's in the winter and rise to over 100 in the summer! :O
They are inanimate objects, exactly what damage do you think will occur from leaving your bike in the garage?

Just curious, this sort of nonsensical sillyness just keeps growing.

I live in a nice, safe suburban neighborhood. I only lock my doors last thing at night. The garage door usually doesn't get closed until bedtime unless it's really cold.

My and my wife's department store bikes hang unsecured on the garage wall. They're in plain view of the well-traveled street most of the time. I usually pray someone will steal mine, so I'll have an excuse to get a decent MTB. Sadly, no one ever does.

All that said, the roadie doesn't stay unattended outside for more than a split second. It sits safely inside, in an unused corner of the kitchen.

It's funny...I'm so cavalier about the MTB since it has no real value to me, and nothing ever happens to it. But when it comes to the road bike, I'm convinced I'm surrounded by innumerable depraved theives.

In my apartment, near the door. I'm not sure where I'd put a second bike if/when I get around to another one. I guess slightly further inside, so by the dinner table.

Mine hangs on the wall in the computer room.
I spend a lot of time in the room , so my bike never gets too lonely.

I would rather have my bikes upstairs, on the trainer, in the living room just like you. However, my wife, which is cool too, is against it for reasons I can't understand.

Living/Gohonzon room: DH's and my mountain bikes
Dining room: Road bike and new folding bike

That's when we aren't having a meeting over here. When people come over to chant, my husband rolls the bikes into the garage for the duration of the meeting, then brings them back in after everyone leaves.

Seven complete bikes in the shed. The 3-speed and the trainer in the carport. Projects (3 for now) in the basement shop. Any overflow go in the carport.
