My Omnium was stored outside for the first 3 years, under a roof but otherwise exposed. It rains a fair bit in Denmark so it did get surface corrosion on a few bit but I wouldn't say it's wrecked. Just be on top of the maintenance and don't forget the grease where required.
Lolo-
That's good to know, thanks. I've always kept my pub/beater bikes outside without issue but I guess it's more of a worry when the bike's worth more than your car.

This, a car port type cover where its protected from above and at least on a few sides from most of the direct rainfall is best. As soon as it stops raining it starts drying out. Car/mc/bike covers are death, keeps all the water in a nice infinite humidity bag.

Storage, what's everyone doing ? Definitely going to get a cargo bike this year as baby 2 is on the way in May. Bullitt is top the list but whatever I get it will have to be kept in the front garden. I'm not overly worried about security but more concerned with how it'll deteriorate being outside all of the time? How good are the covers? Any sort of bike cover I've used in the past has been more trouble than its worth.
Appreciate anyone's experience on this because I'll probably go for a cheaper option of family cargo if its just going to wreck it keeping it outside.
