Where/how do you store your bike gear?

[Paul]

Interesting thread, never thought about where/how to store your kit before till now!!

Anyhow, my jacket at the moment is slumped on the floor next to my piano in the back room. My gloves are stuffed inside my lid which is on the top of a bookshelf next to some of my photographic kit. My trousers are folded up nice at the bottom of my bed in the loft next to both sets of my boots! I also have a neck tube and a cold killers balaclava that are just here on a shelf on the bookshelf where my helmet is.

Gem, where did you buy your rack from, (stop sniggering lads) looks handy that, would be ideal in the hallway here next to my new kitchen?

 

It's from here or they do ones for just one helmet too, here. Ha, I got some strange looks carrying it down the road

 

Thank you Gem.

in a heap on the floor in my hall......

really, sometimes my leathers get thrown on a hanger but everything else on floor

 

I`m with Phil on this one, socks in boots...despite the whiff.

undergarments in a heap in the corner of my living room, leathers slung over a chair, gloves in lid on my table.

I have a large and a small wardrobe. The large one has all my usual clothes, shoes, boots and luggage stored on the top shelf. The small one has ski gear, bike gear and luggage. I guess I'm another OCDer. I never leave anything out, it's always put away where it belongs.

I have a locker closet in my integral garage for all bike clothing, helmets, panniers etc.

And a wee chair to sit on while I get ready.

I also have a nice shelf unit for all the cleaner, chain lube and so on.

I have a drawer unit for cloths and some tools.

Recently painted the garage and now have posters of Rossi, Stoner, Ducatis, Hondas, and a couple of Iron Maiden and Metallica ones as well.

All I need now is a second bike to put in there.

I have a wardrobe just for bike gear where I store all gear including clothing, bags, satnav, security devices and helmets. I even use it to empty out my pockets and store keys and such. It has a rudimentary lock, which is useful to keep the rugrats at bay.

Before I got the wardrobe I usually chucked it in various places, mainly a big chair in the front room

I feel ashamed now my kits all over the place but mainly pushed under the bed as nowhere else to put it.

 

Glad it's not just me. Also stops the kids from running round in my lid bashing into things!

Stolen Gem's idea.

I got the double one here, it's white and the screws that come with it are tiny!! The wall plugs supplied are big though so I am hoping it will take the weight of all my kit on it. Will be putting it up sometime tomorrow so will post pics then of it on the floor more than likely!

I live in a 3 bed detached house on my own

I put my kit wherever i feel like at the time!

normally either in the cupboard under the stairs or the smallest bedroom.

Showoff!!!!!!!!!!

I've forgot where most of my gear is, I'm in the process of moving house so the lessons have been on the back burner for a few weeks.

My girlfriends gear is definately in removal boxes somewhere in the house as she's given up on bikes since the new test came in.

I used different, bigger screws on mine. Didn't like the look of the ones that came with it.

Got it sorted this morning and it is quite solid. Not the best pics as they are from my phone........

Nice and handy little thing to have to keep it all in one place and tidy. Also got a free padded helmet bag with mine which was a bonus.

Thats unless Susie has got her tidying head on!!!!

[Gem]

Haha now we've all got helmet shelves!

Glad I gave some of you the idea of getting one!

[mojobanana]

I'd have got one, but it won't fit! I've just fitted some shelves in the cupboard under my stairs though.. helmet now nestled on top shelf

[rennie]

I always put my helmet on, or near to, the floor!

that way there's less chance of expensive accidents

[MtotheJ]

I think Gem should get a cut of the profits for these! Done a good job of advertising for them

Just spent 3 days building a wood canopy over an 8x6 area of decking outside the conservatory doors. The misses agreed cos as I explained I was building it so she can sit in the shade outside or on rainy summer evenings. Really tho it just happens to cover the area where I lock up my bike and with some conveniently placed coat hooks I now have somewhere to take off my wet gear and hang it to drip dry. After that it all lives in a heap on the conservatory sofa.

^ Nice one

[martlewis]

Last week I replaced the steps up to the back gate leading onto the decking with a ramp so she can get the pushchair up there
