In a second bedroom / storage room. I don't trust the garage just the simple fact it can be taken the second I forget to close the garage. There are times where I thought I closed the garage only to find out later that I did not. Those times are when my bike will get stolen. I live in a relatively safe neighborhood but the transients are the people I'm worrying about.

@the sci guyHow do you like your nashbar? They're kinda pricey right?
so after tax i only paid about $64. compare that to paying $99+ to one in store, or getting a Thule one for $150, etc. the nashbar one is the same product, just with a different sticker.

We’re on the second floor of a four-story condominium and when I'm riding two bikes, I keep them both and just inside the narrow entrance to our unit, leaning against the bench seat pictured below. One is an ultralight carbon fiber bike and the other is a heavy-duty beater mountain bike. The MTB is pretty heavy, and I have a back injury that makes it a chore to carry up the stairs.
This winter I am only using the mountain bike and I decided to keep it in the vestibule of the condo at near street level. The only other condo owner who might object is spending the winter in Mexico. By April when he comes back, I'll (hopefully) mostly be using the carbon fiber bike. I gotta watch the woodwork though.
It is partly visible through the door window, but it's a strong door with a good lock and a security camera.

3 in the basement garage,the rest in the apt. 6 on a Harbor Freight bike tree,four in a pair of Delta Michelangelo racks,the Brompton behind the bedroom door,the Dahon on top of a stack of storage containers,and the rest on stands or propped up against something.
No way I'm posting pics of my messy apt.

One in the living room leaning against a wall unit, one in the entry leaning against the wall
How do you like the Delta Michelangelo? Does it take up a lot of space into the room? Thinking about putting one in the entry..

I don't think my wife would allow bikes in the house (I have gotten away with it on rare occasions while I am working on it or something). My "garage" is currently minus a door and half a wall till we can get it rebuilt, so that isn't a secure option.
Our good bikes are locked in a shed we built in the backyard (a plastic Keter one). Our 4 good bikes take up more then half of it, plus bike gear/etc take up part of the rest of the space. I think I can squeeze one more bike in there This will eventually go away when we get the garage rebuilt (or that is the plan).
Our beater bikes are hidden in the secrete back-back yard, behind a fence with a hidden door. Sadly no structure, only a tarp to help keep them dry.
I have considered building/buying a small bike storage shed, but haven't found something with the right dimension yet.
I also have one bike that is stored elsewhere.

5 bikes all inside my home office.
One hanging on the wall, three bunched up together under that one, and one folding bike inside a big Rubbermade tub under the printer table.
I keep my bikes same place my wife keeps her shoes...inside the climate controlled house. It's in our prenupts.

I have the most active one on the back porch and two others in the basement on a bike tree...
my wife does give me trouble about bringing the bike in even for a bit of maintenance, so I usually wait until she leaves for work before I bring the bike in for an adjustment...

I live in a very small condo and lease half a barn 9 miles away.
1 in the dining room, two in the living room, building a rack soon for all three and shelf space on the living room.
3 more out at the barn. Bikes do not live outside except during the day at work. When I refurbished the GFs bike I told her that when I was done it was an inside bike and will never spend the night outside again.
for those who first thinking about bikes inside I have a few hallway rugs up against the walls under the bikes. Cheap, easy to clean. As a bachelor I dont much care about interior style.
