Garage. I've debated mounting one of the remote door openers on my handlebars. For now though I just use the external keypad to close when I'm leaving and open when I get home.

Should've gotten a Delta Michelangelo. Easy to assemble and put up.

In Yarm, England:

Inside, down this "wynd"





In Mooshausen, Germany:

In one of these villages, in the garage:





At my residence at Gråbrødretorv in CPH:

Right at the light post, where the bike is standing in the photo. Every morning, it's on the cobblestones in its side :-/




At the lake house at Baltonfüred, Hugary:

In the basement of the lakehouse at Balaton:

LOL, that thing only goes up to 80 lbs. Before I put my basket, rack and panniers on my commuter it weighed in at 56 alone.

Wait, you have a house and bike in each one of these cities?! Anyone want to be really hip you can invest in this kickstarter, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...hang-your-bike

Moujntain bike, single speed, and commuter inside. road bike currently in the attic alone

I don't own them all ... and I split my time 40% UK, 15% Germany, 40% CPH, 5% Hungary around the year.

I hate having bikes inside of my living space ... so I won't invest.

That's very cool - I bet your commute(s) never gets stale and boring!

It is interesting:

England (40%) is on a bright SS and to the university. Usually stop at one pub with wi-fi if I need to work a little in the evening or a different pub if I have no work to do

CPH (40%) is on a 20yo 3sp city bike stuck in one gear with rusted fenders. Usually about 10mins to the university and usually for coffee/beer afterward. Totally beat to crap and pick it off the cobblestones every morning.

Germany (15%) is on the MTB and usually involves riding into the Alps if I'm ambitious or just to the biergarten in the summer or to go swimming.

Hungary (5%) is just to the lake and down the promenade to go swimming, drinking or eating. Sometimes I cycle partially around the lake (Balaton.)

Usually up to here for a drink or two:

When I only had my 90's MTB I decided to hang it from the top tube on a pair of ladder hooks in the garage. Works great and it still stays there.

When I got my road bike, no way was I going to leave my shiny, brand new expensive bike in the garage. So I kept it in my bedroom on my side of the bed. Wife was okay with it.

Then when I got my wife's bike, we were just leaving it between the table and the wall in the eat-in kitchen (we have no true dining room). And now that I'm commuting every week I just put my road bike there, also. Road bike has no kickstand so it leans against the wall. Wife's bike has a kickstand so it holds itself up just next to my road bike.

Part of the reason for keeping the newer bikes in the house, besides security, is that there's really no room in the garage for anything else. We actually USE our garage for both of our cars. No way in heck am I going to junk it up to the point where one or both cars have to stay outside all the time.

I'm thinking I would like to get the Xtracycle conversion kit for my MTB one of these days. If that happens I'm not sure where I'll keep the bike. Likewise if I build up a dedicated commuter bike from scratch I'm not sure where I'll keep that one, either.

We have a 3rd bedroom but that's being used as a (very small) movie room with 1080p projector, 5.1 surround and all that jazz, so no bikes can go in there. Having a small house sucks.

Just curious,what bike and how did you weigh it? Neither of the ones in that pic you posted look that heavy. My all steel cargo bike is only around 40.

Less expensive or attractive bikes in the shed out back, better bikes in the house.

Fyi, I think they make keyfob-sized garage remotes now -

The Kensington 8. I used the bathroom scale + algebra method. I suspect the Chinese put all of the lead they were no longer able to use in children's toys into my bicycle frame.

I keep mine in our second room, soon to be a little more crowded since I ordered a bike for my wife today.

That looks like a heavy bike,but I just can't see it being that much heavier than a bikeshare tank. I know my bathroom scale is way off in comparison to my fish scale when it comes to weighing bikes. Honestly,I think the Delta rack would work for you,just put the heavy bike on the bottom and set the height so it'll only be an inch or two off the floor.

I'll revisit it after this weekend - my step-dad is coming over on Sunday to help me try and set up my bike rack. If we're unsuccessful, I'll be looking for other solutions.

Ta-daaaaaa!



As it turned out, even bolted into the ceiling this rack couldn't handle my commuter, so I just pulled it about 18" from the wall, and my commuter backs nicely into the niche created. I'm planning on selling the Schwinn and getting a mountain bike soon.

Very nice!

I have a tiny apartment so my two bikes rest in the hallway leading into the apartment.
Not idea, but they are protected from the elements and I can work on them 24/7.
