2 hooks, upside down in the garage. That way my fork and seat stays stretch at a similar rate.

sorry to create a thread taken so unseriously. Would you treat a carbon bike worth $3,000 the same as one worth $600? You would think cyclists are a tight knit group who do anything to help out other cyclists, but tons of times in these forums the cycling "elite" guys have to lash out on the beginners or people who do not know much about cycling. There is so much criticizing and sarcasm when people are legitimately trying to learn or ask questions.

a: you have a garage and are worried about them being stolen from your garage
b: you have multiple rooms, but keep those next to your bed to get you 'started' in the morning
c: you live in manhattan

I use a $15 Nashbar stand and keep it in the dining room. I used to keep it in the living room, but she got sick of seeing it every time she came in the house. I didn't .
Since it get's so hot here in FLA in the garage in the summer, I told my wife that it would not be good to store it in the garage. She bought it
The rest of the bikes are in the garage. They are all alu.
