Lovers of cyc can be envied. The driver enjoys a light wind, overcoming steep lifts. He does not stand in traffic jams, circling huge cars. The climate of our country does not allow you to ride a bike year-round, so in winter the question arises about the storage of the bike. About where to store a bike, we will tell in this article.

Do you have a small apartment and there are no two meters for the storage of the Iron Horse? In no case do not need to post the bike per balcony. On the loggia is also not the best climate for storage. Here is the increased humidity, which will lead to metal corrosion. Leave the vehicle in the apartment. Many bicycle owners try to hide the bike, so hiding it under the bed or occupy a whole section in the closet. Do not make a problem from storage. Turn the bike to the interior and make it a central part of the room. To do this, you need to decide on the fastening. There are several types of fasteners:
beyond the frame;
behind the wheel

Special fasteners are sold in cymagazines, but their price is quite high, so folk craftsmen independently make such devices. Usually these hooks and brackets. Space remains between the wall and the bicycle, so buy a shelf with a wander for the frame. Thus, every centimeter of your housing will be involved.

In Scandinavian countries, where each family member has an "iron horse", the problem of storage is acute. Therefore, in sports stores you can purchase a special hook rack for which the bike is suspended. This design allows you to store up to 4 bikes. Place in the hallway or make an interior detail. To do this, take the wall with a film with the image of the rider, and on the spot its bike hang your bike on the brackets. Such a solution will allow not only to attach a bike, but also to create an unusual design in the hallway.

A bicycle in the urban interior looks very harmonious. For this, it is enough for the room to be a free wall with the corresponding image of the city and the road. If you have a library, then fill out the space between the wall and the bike books. Purchase a special shelf with a recess for the frame or make it yourself. In the entrances with spacious staircase cells and security, you can store the bike immediately behind the door. In this case, we swell it not for the frame, but for the wheel. This method requires a lot of space, and the neighbors are not always ready to remove their trash from the site.

If you live in a big house with high ceilings, then a two-wheeled vehicle can be suspended under the ceiling. This requires a special lifting mechanism. It is sold in the shop of technology. If you wish, collect it yourself from the details available in the garage.

If you decide to keep a bike in the apartment, choose a hallway or living room for this. The bedroom does not place such things. Some owners of the bikes store them in the bathroom, but due to the high humidity, this method of storage is not the best.
Before hanging the bike on the wall or put in the closet, thoroughly wash it. If it is not dirty on the street, it is enough just to wipe dust with a wet cloth. But in the case of rainy weather, you will have to thoroughly wash your two-wheeled friend. Sometimes to remove dirt from hard-to-reach places, you have to remove the wheels. After that, be sure to lubricate all nodes of the working mechanism of oil.
