The bikes aren't costing us any more than our other household stuff because of the height of the storage unit. All the bikes, even the tandem, are suspended by the saddles from a steel pole suspended across the entire width of the storage unit, which fortunately was very high under the pitched roof (12', in fact).

Bicycling is important to us in so many ways.

I basically started with nothing when I arrived in the area where we live, and then lost a substantial part of that when the bushfires ripped through. We don't really have much, but the household stuff fits in the unit that measures around 15 ft x 9ft. It took some creative packing in, but it worked. The vehicle with kayak and canoe on top are stored outside. The total cost is $205 a calendar month. It's not going to break the bank for seven or eight months.
