Hello all,
I was wondering what was the recommended method to store a roadbike for the winter months.
During the summer, when I use the bike almost every other day, I keep it in the garage. For the winter months…. I was looking for some input here.
I live in the northeast and it get cold here. The Garage is not heated. Should I keep the bike in the garage, or perhaps stow it away in the basement where my furnace keeps the temp at around 60 degrees.
Also, in colder temps, for long periods of times, is it ok to leave the bike on the ground? Will the tires dry out and flatten out? Or should I try to keep it hanging off the floor?
Thanks for any input.
