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?

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.
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.
Flattest places on earth? Denmark?
Close, Florida
Mounted on the wall
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
In the covered bicycle parking that my apartment building provides.
Folded up in my car, I always have it with me.
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
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.
I was thinking of getting a shipping container, how do you like yours as a bike shed?
It’s good and cheap, but they get quite hot inside when in sunlight. Some people add ventilation panels / spinning roof vents to help.
On a trainer for the rainy days
I pulled a peice of furniture out from the wall and tucked it behind when I lived in an apartment.

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.

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

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.
🥲 That sounds nice
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.
Same as me, I guess
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?
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.
Folded up (it’s a Brompton) in the entrance’s dresser
