We used to keep 3 of them outside but someone tried to steal them. We keep talking about selling some of them so that our daughter can reach her toys on the shelves, but cannot decide which ones to let go. I am only just getting into bikes but I cannot seem to stop looking at them like I look at shoes.(which I should add cost more than most of our bikes and are much larger in quantity)Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364487305473753277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-33306428054687316032009-08-11T12:58:50.199-07:002009-08-11T12:58:50.199-07:00First year of college, I lofted my bed (like bunk ...First year of college, I lofted my bed (like bunk beds but just the top bunk) and had between 3 and 5 bikes underneath, depending on who needed a loaner bike or what I was riding. My roommate didn't seem to mind, but he was rather surprised I could fit that many in our tiny dorm room.Wyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973469677734258088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-2388482550005187312009-07-04T09:10:18.815-07:002009-07-04T09:10:18.815-07:00Hi,

Before assuming something is wrong with them because they are unconventional, try a few good ones out. They might be just work for you. No worries about theft, or loss, or space. Put under your desk, behind the sofa, in the luggage rack on the train, in your trunk for the beach... and then just unfold for a sweet ride:<br /><br />Best, <br /><br />-cvj<br /><br />http://asymptotia.com/2009/02/24/bikes-and-the-city-2/cvjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877721142551713474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-39291034838033888902009-06-12T22:43:34.036-07:002009-06-12T22:43:34.036-07:00Before I got a bike, this was my biggest concern! ...Before I got a bike, this was my biggest concern! I have no garage space where I can park a bike (cars only!), no porch, I can't put largeish things into the walls and I have nothing that resembles a hall, laundry room or anything like that in my 1 bedroom apartment. Now I have 2 bikes and they sit in my bedroom, against a small couch that I never sit on. The space going to the bikes is worth it, so I don't mind it too much. When my boyfriend brings his bike over, it can get a little awkward to move around the apartment.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889851326743179545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-84126350733029203602009-06-06T12:32:46.172-07:002009-06-06T12:32:46.172-07:00I just stumbled across your blog.

I keep one in the laundry room - one in my bedroom and another one in the living room.<br /><br />Keeping my bikes group together seemed to take alot of space so that is why I keep them all separated.<br /><br />Hope the best for your storage situationThe re-awakening of an Athletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258984720486041326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-84309566490110224792009-06-05T13:37:31.527-07:002009-06-05T13:37:31.527-07:00My husband and I have a total of 4 bikes in a medi...My husband and I have a total of 4 bikes in a medium sized one-bedroom apartment, and a not-insignificant desire for more. As he rides to work every day (and I ride a few days a week), the only time there is space to move around the living room is when no one is there! The road bikes get prime real estate, propped up behind the mid-room couch, and against a bookcase, so hubby can easily work on them in the evening. The other two are up against the picture window (who needs to see outside?) and blocking his giant tool chest in the corner.<br />We've often talked of the day one of us makes enough so we can move into a lovely 2-bedroom, one bedroom being for bikes of course!JBCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-36783227599019763952009-06-04T17:16:53.650-07:002009-06-04T17:16:53.650-07:00I used to keep my main ride locked up on my porch ...I used to keep my main ride locked up on my porch until one night I lucked into timing a last look out the front window before bed that coincided with two shadowy youths creeping up the front steps to steal it. Now my singlespeeder stays inside. My road bike and my wife's bike and my mountain bike are locked up With cable locks and ulocks in our locked garage.<br /><br />The rack I use in the garage for my roadie and my wife's is the same floor-to-ceiling tension-fitted rack that I used inside the tiny one-bedroom I lived in prior to where I'm now.<br /><br />Looks sorta like this:<br />http://tinyurl.com/owaktpWill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613820435350540736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-73655236830079935432009-06-04T00:57:12.771-07:002009-06-04T00:57:12.771-07:00HI!

My and my partner's bikes (a grand total of 2 - we're dreaming about a second one each) were stored, hamperingly, in the hallway.<br /><br />We moved into a two bedroom house that has a 'lean-to' - a tiny add-on room that is also our greenhouse. In the lean-to are lots of pot-plants, the washing machne, a basin, all our shoes, miscellaneous cardboard boxes and our two bikes, again, hampering our access to the outside!<br /><br />I'd just like a garage, with big deep shelves for all our random bike, camping and climbing gear, and walls I can affix things, like a bike hanger, to - we rent so cannot hammer / screw things into walls :-(<br /><br />Love your blog!oanhhttp://www.twitter.com/oanh_1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780361955450458713.post-61744900500107306482009-06-03T20:10:59.551-07:002009-06-03T20:10:59.551-07:00Hi there,

It's just not safe to lock our bike up outdoors. Wait, we don't have bikes yet, but I'm in the market and I told him to get one too. His concern is figuring where to store it. At this point, I think I'll move a small desk that is on a lone wall and a bike could go there, and then one could go behind the couch (between table and couch-open floor plan). I figure this will work and when we have guests, the bedroom the bikes will go. <br /><br />SUCKS! Storage issues suck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
