Apartment dweller here, I can't store it outside and I don't have a garage, I was getting tired of just having it in the living room so I came up with this slightly better idea.

Anyone have any nice setups for keeping your bikes in your living spaces?

Folded up in my car, I always have it with me.

Yeah, that sounds nice, I'm rented so I can't make permanent modifications. We're on a town home (4 unit building with separate flats top and bottom) and this area isn't great so I can't keep it outside.

Already had my last bike stolen that way (2018 Fuji)

Before when I lived in the bottom flat I used the staircase to store it and that protected it from the elements, and passerby couldn't see it.

Do you have any pics of your storage nook?

I get the picture, yeah that looks very tight

... hey, as long as it don't bother your neighbor, that's a good spot.

One in my cold shed, my main one in my heated tool shed and the third one in the attic space of that same shed waiting for frame repair.

I thought about it, but not allowed to put holes in the wall or I would lose my deposit.

I got this entryway desk idea from Pinterest, I was going for something like this

🥲 That sounds nice

Leaning against my living room wall where I can see and admire her whenever I like.

LOL

Let's see her

Ignore the mud. She had a rough day at the jump track yesterday.

sweeeet

nice gearing

She's the best. Goes down and up any trail I can find. She'll jump 8 meters (more if she had a better rider than me) without complaining a bit.

I pulled a peice of furniture out from the wall and tucked it behind when I lived in an apartment.

Making me put the gravel tires back on mine XD

I wish I had some nice mountain trails around me but unfortunately I live in one of the flattest places on earth

How do you clean her? any recommendations for the gear train?

I just spray her down with water and then scrub with dish soap and water. Just make sure you scrub the drive train after the discs so you don't fuck your brake pads with grease residue. But most of the time I just leave her dirty because I ride most days and it gets old cleaning mud off her. I call it structural mud with my friends. If she sounds rough or the mud starts falling off in chunks I'll give her a quick wash.

Not a small space back then, but mine used to sit in the living room, until winter came and the melting snow would drip on the hardwood and the carbide studs would scatch the floor. So then my wife asked if I would mind bringing it down to the basement, which was reasonable. Now we are in a small condo, with no space for the bike, so it is chained to your parking stall pillar, and then extra llocks and chains through the wheels and frame.

I have fairly deep wall-mounted shelves on a wall starting a little over waist high. I can fit a bike or two in the space under those shelves without really taking up extra floor space

Nice that sounds kind of like what I wanted to do, can we see?

Folded up (it's a Brompton) in the entrance's dresser

The downhill bike i don't ride anymore hangs on my living room wall, the enduro i still ride is in my basement on the bike repair stand or whatever you call it. Ebike hangs on another wall and my bmx just does whatever

😂🤣 Typical BMX

We live in a flat, but don't really have any special storage solution. Just bike stands to keep the wheels from marking the floor and the brake levers from scuffing up the walls. Two gravel bikes in the dining room (one is my wife's) and a road bike in a corner of the bedroom. In the winter the road bike goes on the turbo trainer in the same place.

We'll probably end up moving at least the gravel bikes to our cellar though, since we'll be needing extra space soon. Hopefully the road bike can stay upstairs though where I can admire it.

In the laundry room inside the unit.

That's a pretty good way to save the usability of the footprint btw. Might use it if I have to free up the laundry.

In the covered bicycle parking that my apartment building provides.

In my outside closet because I haven't used it in 10 years. Maybe I will use it soon. When I get any sorta income

In the shipping container outside. I think the tyres perished. Got a dog that needs to be with me all the time and can't run fast, so I'm stuck walking instead. I did buy a child trailer thing but couldn't seem to mount it on the rear wheel quick release hoohaa.

Smart! Easy access but not in the way

I just store mine behind the front door. It really doesn't get in the way!

Pupper mentioned, now we require the photographic tax!

Awhile back I saw a system where you would hang your bike on the wall using 2 hooks under the top bar. But the hooks have to be long enough so that the wheels don't touch the wall, or you'll get black stains from the tyres.

I was thinking of getting a shipping container, how do you like yours as a bike shed?

I lock it up outside.

All over the garage where my car is supposed to be parked.

I have 2 bikes and I live in an apartment. They come inside the apartment and live right by the front door against the wall.

I just put it on the ground floor of my apartment building, next to the entrance to the basement

On a trainer for the rainy days

It's good and cheap, but they get quite hot inside when in sunlight. Some people add ventilation panels / spinning roof vents to help.

Same as me, I guess

If you're cold, they're cold.

I had one of those in my balcony once ... unfortunately on a standard 8 feet apartment, even when you lift it all the way up, the bike still gets in the way

It goes in the bike pile in the basement with all the other bikes, obviously.

Or my car, but it can only fit one bike

Mounted on the wall

Flattest places on earth? Denmark?

Close, Florida

😂😂

Well, my bike is currently on the healing bench, and I dont have a pic, but it essentially is like what you are already doing. Just instead of a table top like you have, it's a shelf, and there's more shelves above that one.
