Hmmmmm... must test idea.
The longest I've hd a bike in the house, is running on four months.
Its my 82 schwinn predator! I got it in my room on a shelf, that was ment for clothes. Not any more.
Other than that, my dad goes ballistic if any of my ballooner's get inside, "it's gonna poke a hole in my new sheetrock!!!" Or, "your gonna break something with it!"
At my grandma's house, I can get away with it. Partially because she's almost blind, and also she likes to know what I'm tinkering on.

I have a Schwinn Fastback hanging in the dining room. Its been there for almost 10 years. Before that it sat on the dining room table with cloth napkins under the tires and kick stand. The girls said it was in their way thats why now its hanging up. The good thing is only one of the girls still living at home the others are grown and moved out. Their mom has never complaned she thinks the bicycle is cool!
i'll second that ..... pic please! :mrgreen:

The period of time a bike is IN our house is directly proportional to the amount of time the little woman is NOT IN the house - period! Robert
This is an awesome thread.Too funny!
It seems I have the opposite problem most of you have. I get to keep one bike in the living room for 6-8 months out of the year. Then, in late fall, the bike must be moved for a huge indoor/outdoor plant we have. After that only she gets to keep a bike in the living room, as there is only room for one. :roll:
I should point out that she has 5-6 bikes at any given time. Currently in her stable: a mixte Peugeot road bike, a beater hybrid, a super sporty hybrid, a minty AMF Roadmaster, an old Raleigh Sports with full chain case and a bmx scraper bike. Yes, you read that correctly, a bmx scraper bike. Don't ask. Happily, I have her beat by at least a 3:1 ratio most of the time, but I do feel her encroaching on my shop. :shock:
