Storing a Bicycle

[sparrowhawk]

I used to be an avid bicyclist years ago, and after of years absent from the road but now trying resume cycling again, I've forgotten much, like how to store a bicycle during the winter. Anyone have any advice?

Keep it out of the elements and dry. If you are not riding it until Spring, expect to oil the chain and axles, as well as make adjustments to the brakes and such before you ride when the weather warms up. You could Armor-All the tires before storing if you are so inclined. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck!

I was also a VERY avid cyclist in my youth. The best way to store a bike for winter is unprotected in saltwater.

Happy to help!
