Out door bike storage


Matt's picture

By Matt - Posted on 30 August 2007

Due to an impending (December) first addition to the family (Cigars and beer gladly accepted for sale on e-bay to fund 12 nappies a day...) I am forced to put my existing aluminium and steel framed children out in the yard!

Has anyone come across any outdoor storage solutions for a couple of bikes that are secure, weatherproof and not too expensive?

Ta,
Matt.

PS - It could all be academic anyway as riding might be cut down a bit! Still, feel free to humour me. Plus if you have an old "first bike" you were thinking of dumping...

Hi buddy, I have a solution that will completely negate your need for outdoor bike storage.

Just waiting for the image ( hopefully) to upload onto the site...

Why don't you hang the bikes above new family member's bed... erm... cot? Would make a nice mobile and something shiny to entertain young eyes. Plus, can't help to start MTB education early, can it?

Congratulations!
Hope you are not going to get rid of the bikes now!! Eye-wink

............packing into a small suitcases for early morning get away! Sad

or alternatively ...put them in the car the night before! Eye-wink

Matt you really should auction you bikes on NobMob...you know good homes are waiting for them....

Myself I would offer to take one but find I have three already!

Hiya,

we have this bike rack in our flat which I think is great. It works with gravity so need to break the rules and damage precious walls!

The other option is the spare room Smiling

(love it!!!) Laughing out loud

(Sorry I read the FAQ part and tried to incorporate the pics into the post but as you said Rob: clear as mud!!! Eye-wink

With tricks like that I'm afraid! Outdoor under lock and key it has to be, nice wall decoration in the spare room though ;-}.
