winter storage
Where our bikes go when winter arrives. Since I finished about half of our basement, I have significantly less room for bicycle storage so I went back to hanging them like we did at the old bike shop. Seems to have worked out well as they have been out of the way all winter. It was 45 this morning and it is maybe 5 now with a hellacious wind chill. I am ready for summer but it is still a long way off.
