Out door bike storage
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...
Relax people - I'm here...
You probably don't know me, you probably won't want to.
None the less I am here, and you will forever be changed. Rejoice people for I have arrived after many years of solitude, honing my technique, reflection, and study and I am ready to ride ride ride.
I now open the floor for comment, questions, introductions and flaming....
Tools - Borrow
Does anyone have the tool for the special nuts holding on the chain ring? I would like to borrow one for a short while to install a new chain ring?
Will be riding pennant hills Saturday if that is convenient.
Thanks
Craig

Telemark tips MTB thread
I don't usually promote other forum sites however the photos of MTB trails in America and the conversation are worth a look.
warranty bikey stuff
If anyone remembers my little issue with my new Trek session 77 whereby the seat post clamp, when in an off centred position, hit the linkage and sheared a gouge out of it, and cut some outer tubing of the brake hose too, which although was mainly cosmetic (except for the brake hose hehe), was rather upsetting..
NEW BIKE!
So I took the plunge and got myself a trials bike! Its pretty amazing. In anticipation I was trying to learn to back hop on my giant (no success) and on dads green machine hardtail (still no success) and almost as soon as i got on it i was able to 1-3 hops on the rear wheel before falling off. Sweet.
One for the roadies

Amusing little article as to why one needs to shave and wear lycra when one gets on a road bike. At least he admits it's partly to fit in with the crowd 
The power of the "Mob"
Ok, a bit of a stretch here as far as being site related but I saw this on the late news last night and thought it was worth sharing if only to show the power of the Mob. (Yeah I know tecnically speaking its a herd but you get the drift)
Look closely for the attack from the water.
BTW park rangers searched and could find no signs of a carcass, ie it survived
