They are just resting between rides
Talking about stuffing bikes into houses, I remember going to see a pair of wheels in a big flat in old Edinburgh. It had an enormous square hallway with all the rooms off it. There must've been 20 bikes in the hallway, and as I passed another door to a room, it was stuffed full of bikes and frames to the gunnels.
The guy was, how can I put it: a fair bit weird. He took me to a big walk in cupboard which was absolutely rammed with bike parts. There was loads of Campagnolo in boxes. I asked if he was a mechanic or owned a bike shop 'No, just like bikes, eh?'
It was only then that I noticed on the back of the doors he had about 2 foot square of tiny mirrors glued into them. He caught me looking... 'So ye can see him coming, know what I mean?'. I made my excuses and left without the Shimano Dura Ace large flange wheels, quick style. I heard he died in the very same flat a few years later and they had to break the door down because it was almost barricaded with bikes. The local bike recycling had a field day!

The only reason that there aren't two bikes in my dining room at the moment is that one of them is on a turbo trainer in my garage.
