Post by: munners on November 25, 2007, 08:17 PM: Up until this week i had all of my bikes at my office as we were living at the inlaws. We just moved in 2 weeks ago. I built a gamesroom in the loft and they sit in there at the mo. I put them to bed everynight. :D The Mrs is gonna do her nut when she realises i gotta put another rack of them up there!

Post by: othomas2 on November 25, 2007, 08:30 PM: That looks luxury !!! I need to resort to hanging them on the wall.... being in a small london flat and all.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v665/othomas2/More%20stuff/P1040591.jpg)

Another usually stands below this... and then have a few hanging in the garage but unforutnately a car lives in there so no room for expansion. Just dismantled one to bring in another. :)

Post by: SaMAlex on November 26, 2007, 04:58 PM: I built a shed at the end of my garden for bikes. It was cool at first but it soon got filled up, and I dont get out there much at the moment.

Oh, and you boys have too many mint bikes, you wanna take a little less care of them!!! :2funny:

Getting built, and the first few bikes in:

Chaps, are your garden sheds secure? I mean properly secure.... With the way these prices are going those sheds look like easy targets to me.

Cover them windows up, get more than one locking device on the door if you don't already ;)

That's most of the completes, 16 there, 6 more around the house and draws full of parts all over if anyones on the rob. Just about finished decorating a room to put them in but started uni recently so room needs to double up as somewhere to work, can fit in about 15 so somethings got to give.......I'll finish what I've got and hopefully have enough backbone to say no more.....who am I trying to kid.....

Post by: aerostylie on November 28, 2007, 04:26 PM: Can bikes be insured separately or are they just covered within the household contents? Peeps, no need to be specific about your set up, just a generic question really :daumenhoch:

Paul :)
Title: Re: where do you keep your bikes?
Post by: Frosty on November 28, 2007, 05:09 PM: I have just got new house insurance following the extension and modernisation of the pad. I also included the garage and contents but was specific about the bikes and managed to get coverage of £15k for bikes and tools etc excluding the motorbikes which are covered themselves anyway.

just needed to add some side bars to the garage door that's all.

The people insuring me came in cheaper than Aeon (who we were with) and the house went from 3 bed 1 bathroom to 4 bed, study 3 b/rooms and extra bikes etc in the garage!!

pm if you want my insurers details.
