Inside or Out! Cyclists dating non cyclists

All 4 bike (one in bits) are stored in my one bedroom flat. Could put them in the communal yard but no.

Now you only need a really nice house.

Golf thread >>>>>>

Own your house.

Know one has said that they have more than one girlfriend though !

It’s under an Oxford motorbike cover to be fair but I do feel bad

Never outside unless it's a beater. Of my 5 bikes or so. 4 hanging above the car in the garage. Mtb in basement for winter to protect suspension components/seals from unbelievably cold weather. Oh and the cargo bike in garage.

She's adament that ppl don't store bikes inside.

Bring her round to ours. 10 bikes inside.
Life goes on. As previously mentioned, this would be a big red flag. As also mentioned, this is London, people steal everything!

.

There's a few of these posts I was thinking the same thing...

Oh, Iain, since when have you been dating a cyclist?

As others have said, her place, her rules. If you were to make this work, you'd probably need different premises. Alternatively, before co-habiting, you could go down the time-honoured 'build her a bike and turn her' route, but there's obviously no guarantee that this would succeed.

Bikes in every room of my place except the bathroom and my main bedroom. The spare rooms, under the stairs, lounge, hall, kitchen - all home to bikes that are not getting rusty or getting stolen.

Leaving them outside is a deathwish for a bike. Everybody knows this, that’s why they’re kept indoors.

are people self-censoring themselves out of the golf thread now?

if it's in london, bikes inside. if you're ok with them being nicked, garage or something.

I missed something here...

Or bikes could just HTFU.

Why are ppl deleting their comments?!

No room in our NEXT place together... .

I have our two commuters on the hall wall using the Hiplock Airlock mounts. Then I have an Asguard secure bike shed in the back garden which houses four more. Our two Bromptons are in the cupboard under the stairs.

I don't like clutter and bikes no matter how beautiful are clutter.

We've had a lot of similar threads in the past, and I always thought that if your partner refuses point blank to have bikes inside, it's either because you have not communicated properly why you'd ask, or the partner is unwilling to make compromises.
If you propose suitable storage options and explain that bikes are expensive and at risk of theft outside, she should be understanding. It's not like you're asking to bring your gamer chair in her Art Déco living room.
