Bikes: Crap. The box is not big enough...

It is important to keep the bike in a dry environment. Rust needs water to grow (yeah, or nitric acid or anything that presents the hydronium ion...) and it doesn't happen fast. The bubbles and tracks under the paint can only be really fixed by removing the paint in the area, removing the rust, and refinishing the wound...but then you are taking off the original paint, and so we're back to the original discussion. Just keep it dry, and when you ride it in the wet, be sure and get it back to dry as quickly as possible.

It'll last longer than any of us, that way...
