The holidays are for sharing--even with the bikes.
My shed is at least twice as safe as my house and maybe warmer. It is a bit like my Gun Safe in that regard. But in our old house the bikes would have had a room for themselves. So I understand keeping the bikes inside. The place we moved to has half the space of our old house. But one thing that hasn't happened in the last 35 years is for one of our fur people living outside. They provide company for my wife when I was traveling and they do now when I am off riding my bike. They work better than a door bell and will pick food off the floor if you happen to drop it. The one we have now is a traveling companion as well. I have even been known to hook up the bike trailer and give the fur person a ride just for kicks. But I have thought about making a web page to journal my bikes like I have for my molly.
