If you do store your bike outside your main residence, what measures do you take?
I just don't, unless it's a robust commuter and/or have a proper metal bike shed.
As a mechanic, I strongly advised people to store bike indoor, as even just leaving it in a damp shed can cause corrosion, I lost count how many "new" bike have to be completely stripped down and rebuild with new part (worse one was left outside a houseboat in Twickenham, a £1,000 bike ridden for 20 miles that now need £400 worth of work).

Hive mind, I need help... My gf and I are discussing shared/co habitation. She's stated that I cannot have my bike inside. I said this is not even feasible.
I've said that I'd do a poll to see if people keep their bicycles inside their main residence or if they're housed outside whether it's a shed or against a lamppost. How they are stored every night (Daily commuters) or long term storage (dream)/ centre of pride bike) .

This is to show a non cyclist what the options are. Maybe broaden my views...
She's adament that ppl don't store bikes inside. She says it makes her think of student housing.
I would like some help. I don't see an issue wirh it hung on the wall near the door with a coat rack for my kit... She does.
Your insight is appreciated. How did you deal with dating a non cyclist.
