In the shed, I would bring it into the house but there isn't room. I wish we had a garage...

na, as long as its dry and you bounce the suspension and spin the tires form time to time to keep seals from getting sticky then your all good.

california isn't all pom trees like people think. i live in the mountains at 4000ft elevation. right now its 25 degrees(-3.8 ) and snowing. we average 180-200 inches of snow a year. i know canada is colder and gets more snow but hey it aint nice weather here either

i've left my rival in my garage in like -40C and it was fine during the summer. my torrent is currently in the same garage and i've taken it out a couple times when it was warm and it rides the same as it did when i brought it home from the shop

insurance is really expensive when you don't live with your parents (i'm in a student flat...), so we don't have any. Our basic insurance covers bikes up to the value of 250 quid - which wont even cover my forks.

so we have six bikes wedged in a small cupboard, chained to a ground anchour. with three more cable locks through the frames to be safe (you can't get the bikes out locked together). then we have plastic ramp over the top of them, with a locking chin up bar above it so you can't more the ramp and can't get at the bikes.

a theif could probably get through it, but i'd hope one of us would wake up before said theif got the bikes out. (although the flat is sometimes empty at the weekends).

new york chain lock,yeah pricey at £130 but cheaper than replacing 3 bikes.

i cant see it hurting a BMX in the garage because there's no fluids or anything just deflate the tires so they don't expand and pop
