Best way to store bikes

[Star12]

The multitude of storage possibilities is too much to consider and mind-boggling. To make things easier I think this thread should be divided into two:

1/ Best way to store bikes for regular people with Wives/Husbands/Partners/Children etc.
2/ Best way to store bikes for Singles/Divorcees/Loners/Weirdos/Those suffering with advanced stages of the Retrobike addiction/illness etc.

Those bikes look great, but I prefer less perfect bikes that are there to be ridden. I have 4 GT's that I ride in turn, depending on how I feel any given day. I am lucky that I share my living room space with my bikes and cats and I have my workspace in my living room, I know it's unconventional, but I am happy with this arrangement. I do need to make or buy some stands for my bikes so I won't have to lean them against walls or furniture. But every time I have a little spare cash I tend to buy parts for my bikes instead!

Well, I really prefer that perfect bicycles and ride them Mine are all in good conditions and ready to ride as hard as you whant, no creaks no nonthing. Ready to Rock ...

I didn't mean not perfect as in falling apart or not working. I am not expecting a 30 year old bike to be in pristine condition that I would be scared to ride in case it gets a scratch here and there.
However I do want my bikes to be in fully functional condition so I can ride them without the worry of them getting dirty or having minor blemishes. Unfortunately I don't have large sums of money at my disposal to buy nearly new or NOS parts, if you can afford it that's great and I haven't got anything against that. Each to their own. Enjoy what you have! It wasn't meant as a criticism.

Thieves love sheds.
And a locked shed must contain something worth stealing!
And a bicycle is its own getaway vehicle

So bikes in sheds need a security light if there is any risk of prying.

Stealing from inside a house is a more serious crime - the police would probably investigate, and the probably even prosecute the perpetrator.

Was told by the police to remove the front wheel, no longer a get away vehicle.
