Can you see your bike from where you are sitting?

[mickle]

chuffy doesn't count as a bike for this purpose…

Ouch.

I like to have one in the house for company when my husband is away. Currently, my road bike is in the kitchen, and I might bring my airnimal in later. The rest are in the garage.

At home sat at my computer in the back of the through lounge my fixed is leaning against the wall behind me, the other bikes are securely locked in the shed, at work the fixed is in the warehouse locked to the guard rail next to the roller shutter door, I work a late shift and don't get out until almost seven in the evening and I wont risk the bike in the wheel benders outside for two hours after most people have left.

When I'm at work I have a singular office and it has been purposely set out to fit my bike out of site in the corner

In my bedroom!

 

[twozeronine]

At home it's in the living room.

At work it's in a store room which I can see from my desk.

 

[JiMBR]

At work, my bike is 4 feet from my desk.

At home it's 2 feet from my armchair, along with another bike.

Oh, and there's another bike at the foot of my bed.

At home both are chained to the wall in the garage , at work it stays in a locked cycle shed with cameras, i would never get it through the turnstiles !

Damn, I just saw this thread again near the top and I found myself looking again. Come on, marmoset, who on earth is going to nick your bike from your living room? Of course it's still there!

Can't understand why people keep their bikes in the house, weird! I can't afford the insurance to keep any bikes at my student house in Liverpool at the moment (ridiculous price) added to the fact our neighbors were burgled in December, it's not worth the risk. So I'm waiting till the nice weather and the end of term to ride again... and this weekend when I'm home.

 

[marzjennings]

Bikes are all out in the garage waiting for Friday and a ride day. Not sure if I'm going to hit the dirt or the road.

Why wierd?

In my case, it's because I only have a flat, with no shed, and no bike store. So I have no choice. The daily use hack lives in the lobby downstairs, the other two in the flat itself - and I change which is daily use according to the season. My trike lives in a shared lock-up, across town, so that would hardly be convenient for my daily use bike, would it? Seeing as I need the bike to get to the lock up...

Many houses don't have enough back yard for a shed, or like my sister's place the garden is only accessed though the house - so if there's room, why not keep the bike indoors, if it has to come through the house anyway?

Plus, it's more secure than out in a shed. And handy if you like to do a lot of tinkering.

Only riding when you go home? Wierd! Get a cheap and cheerful hack for god's sake and keep it at the house, uninsured.

Different day, same view, different bike.

I can see it at the moment, because it is outside the back door waiting to take me to the bike shop to buy some new shorts, and then to the shops, and then to the pub for a couple of lunchtime ales. Life is great at the moment.
