Winter Storage

We have to store the bikes outside since we live in an apartment and I don't know how to prepare them for winter.

Bikes are like cats, they live inside😄 Well mine do. Wow, no riding during winter! Where I come from there isn't snow, just rain, so riding is still possible. No riding🙁 So having no experience in this I can't really give you any 1st hand advise. You can't dismantle them to make then easier to store inside?

There are two issues:

1. Security - Do you have safe and secure outside storage? You wouldn't want them to vanish on you.

2. The elements - I would smear petroleum jelly on anything that may corrode. I would remove the saddles and take them indoors. Then I would cover with a tarp. Ensure that there is space at the bottom for ventilation. You don't want water to condense inside.

Overall, they are best brought inside. I would stash them anywhere there is room.
