Bike storage?

[tyagi]

I'm probably getting a bike (few years old, commuter bike) and don't really have space in the garage, so it's either going to be stored outside under a cover, or in a shed/bike shed.

Can anyone recommend any bike shed manufacturers or suppliers, particularly in the Wellington region?


Yes, I know that storing it in the garage would be more secure and better, but there isn't the room. I'll sink a steel eye and use a U-bolt through the floor of the shed where it'll stand. The shed is just to make it more weather-proof, out of the way, and a bit more secure than just a fabric cover.

I'd throw crap out in order to fit her in the garage.

I wouldn't consider "outside" as an option.

But thats just me....

As for a cheap shed, Go buy a garden shed from mitre 10 for a few hundred, Pour yourself a concrete slab (its piss easy, a bit of boxing, some plastic,some mesh, cover in concrete), Bolt shed to slab, Park bike in shed.....Spend the money saved on the bike


Though if it were me, I'd just throw crap out of the garage.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not that there's too much stuff in the garage, it's a case of there being a car in the garage and it not being wide enough to put a bike by the side of it.

Not knowing in advance whether the bike and/or car are going to be used on a given day means that there's likely to be a lot of hassle in moving the bike to get the car out, or vice versa. Not something I want to start doing.

So, outside housing seems to be the way to go. Given that this is a commuter bike, and not a "shiny, dry-weather-only, Sunday bike", it'll be seeing a mix of weather anyway.

unless its a GTHO falcon or something special, put the car outside where it belongs.

if its a GTHO falcon or or any ford for that matter, put the car outside where it belongs.
