How do you park your bike?

that's funny, I usually just lean mine on a tree, though it's been a while.

I'd be afraid I'd insert my favorite rat cruiser and back out would come a late 70s girls 10 speed.
Wonder how well it handles burrito bikes, choppers and tall bikes.

That thing looks just like mine, (less electronics,covered storage,cool little groove in the floor) I call mine a garage ! :lol:

I just use a kickstand. That thing is cool though. America should become more like the Japanese as far as the bicycle usage.

I actually derail the chain from the sprocket so that nobody steals it... or at least they won't get very far. It stinks though because my hands are then covered in black grease, so I rub them in dirt so at least it won't get on my bike.

I just wrap my chain through every component that has a hole or a gap in it so that nothing can be pinched unless they cut the chain. If they do that then they can have it.

I just park mine wherever I stop. No need for a lock around here. I live 3mi. from town out in the country. The town only has 750 people and I know half of them. I can't remember the last time I've heard of any bikes stolen. I never lock my truck or my house either. It's great. B607

I park mine vertically! :lol:

Man great idea, I am off to the depot in the AM. Do you have any dimensions?

Thanks

 

[Downtune]

I park mine lined up in the shed, with a thick as heck chain and padlock snaking it's way through them in a way that makes unlocking them very noisy. :mrgreen: Haven't lost one yet, touch wood.

Either in my garage or my screened in back porch. My wife has to park her car outside because the garage is full of bikes. Tony

 

[jojobiker13]

Mine is full as well!!!!

It looks like you loosen the handlebars and turn them sideways to store them. Was that a necessity?

And....care to post a blueprint on that rack?

The idea was to store as many bikes as close together as possible, but still able to pull one out. Originally, I had a shed at my old house with rows of hooks. I figured it'd be better this time to build racks on wheels. I'll try to draw up a plan this week, I've been meaning to do it for awhile. Especially since whenever I build another, end up having to re-measure the "prototype"! I do loosen the stems and turn the bars, as well as remove the pedals. The only bad part is it's impossible to make it low enough to go thru a standard doorway. ~Adam
