C- Guest bedroom/office closet.
I leave my garage door open too much, especially when I'm working outside- mowing the lawn, etc. People usually look at me like I'm serving them dinner in the bathroom or something when they find out there's a bike in the house.
This goes without saying, but I'm jealous of KRhea's workshop.

Ditto. The bikes are typically in the basement for this very reason.

As of right now my bicycle is in the garage or on the trainer until I have my own place. Then I will turn a room into a mancave!
workstand, fridge, bike rack, trainer, rollers, weights, and a plasma tv.

has anyone experienced any issues with corrosion of such from keeping your bikes in the garage?
I just bought my firt bicycle, I plan to keep it in the garage... but I really do not want for it to get damaged since the garage is pretty much a non A/C area. While it is not 100% exposed to the elements, im sure there is a good amound of moisture specially in south florida. Any thoughts?

I chose a small room in the house as my "home office". Like I really need an office at home, but it is the best name I can come up for it. Desk, computer, some books, and a few extra things that are orphans of a good/proper place in the house. I keep my bikes there. There is a small closet in that room, so I keep spare parts, tools, extra wheel sets, etc there too.
It is not a "bikecave" by any means, but enough room for just about everything I need.

^ thats pretty awesome. Now all it needs is a place for a trainer/roller pointing at a huge plasma screen tv.
nice idea using the closet in the room for storage of equipment (and keeping it well stocked as it seems)

Oh, I just noticed you live in South Florida. Did I say a trainer/roller? I meant sunblock, sunglasses, and another pair of Assos
