When I was young, our bikes were "outside" bikes. No garage. I guess we could have carried them into the house and down into the basement, but that's not what kids do. A couple squirts from those old-school oilers (where you press the bottom and some oil comes out the spout) in the various operating bits (like r der) and away we went. Of course, this is with good old American heavy as **** steel bikes. And this is through Wisconsin winters.
