    Bicycle storage reccomendations

    I have just cleared a space in my garden for bicycle storage as my bike gets in the way in my motorbike shed.

    What I am looking for is something thats easy to use so I dont have to bend down or struggle and not to much of an eye sore.

    Its a Halfords electric MTB with wide bars.

    We have a Asgard metal bike shed. Very secure with two locks.

    4 adult bikes plus accessories in ours.

    I've got the same Asgard bike shed but in cream. 4 adult bikes, two shelves and two hooks for bits and bobs. Very pleased with it.

    Cheers,
    Gary

    This is for two bikes so you'll have plenty of room easy access and extra storage/stowage.

    I have a very simple, very cheap facility in the garage - metal hooks suspended from the ceiling, so the bikes hang upside down by their wheels. Saves a lot of space.

    Don't you have trouble with damp in them? My mates got one and when he bought his bike out of hibernation his bar tape and saddle were disintegrating so he asked me if I could keep it in my garage.

    I have had the same Asgard pictured for 5 years, it’s at my caravan and is great. No issues at all with it and certainly not any damp.

    Nope never noticed any damp at all. I’ve had it a good 12 months and never seen any signs of any condensation. I think it has breather holes so I’m sure that helps.

    I’d rather risk a little bit of damp in the knowledge that the bikes are very safe, as the urchins are not going to get into it without drilling out the locks or using an angle grinder. With that amount of fuss, they will probably target something easier.

    I used to store my Spare mountain bike upside down over winter. My bike has disk brakes, on recommission in Spring the brakes took ages to sort themselves out as air had gone from the resovoir to the caliper. I now take the wheels off and hang the frame the right way up, and hang the wheels off the same hooks so it sits really high.
