I agree with that...If my driveway wasn't gated I'd lock my garage but the gate alarm will sound if it's opened after 7:00 without the code. My dad keeps his bikes in the attached garage which is hooked up to the house alarm but theft is so rare in our neighborhood we almost don't need an alarm. I've been lucky enough to never have had a bike stolen
I had my operator stolen last year (got it back too!), probably the worst bike related thing that can happen besides getting injured. I've never felt that kind of blood lust lol. But it was my own fault, ran into a store with my op sitting on my tailgate, never again!
Now whenever I'm driving somewhere with bikes in the back they're locked to the truck bed!
I keep my bikes in a garage that we have just recently started to lock but I think there has only ben one thing stolen and it was a razor instead of a ipod.

Ok...here we go again I never claimed to have paid taxes but I'm speaking for most people when I say they don't want to pay someone's medical bills because they busted their head open riding their bike. Sorry to claim ownership over the gate, it does technically belong to my parents You have every right to disagree with what I'm saying, but I think you were criticized by another user because you essentially called me immature when I was trying to give a casual remark about keeping a fellow rider safe. You then called me several expletives and hijacked this thread by posting a bunch of pictures of your gear laying out on the floor. It doesn't help your case that you're playing the "respect your elders" card, since I don't even know any of my peers who would respond the way you did, much less a 33 year old man. Disagree with me, but keep the "stupid motherf---ker" and "stfu" comments to yourself please. I'm just trying to look out for my fellow riders. Please don't take too much offense. Now can we please get this thread back on track? If you have further questions you can PM me, but this is disrespectful to users who use this thread as a bike storage resource. Cheers
its okay chris, I and others here have more respect for you and take you more seriously than butter pants here.. you are 17 and have already learned things that he at 33 will never know. ie. how to communicate effectively, few respect or follow those who cannot compromise or learn.

Thanks dmadness, I appreciate it. Now though, let's get this thread back on track so it can serve as a useful resource about bike storage . Thanks though, and Cheers Chris

How many people keep their bikes in a climate controlled area? For whatever reason, keeping your suspension oil fresh, etc. Just wondering if it's a factor that crosses many people's minds or if it even matters at all really
