Who keeps their bike in their house?
 

Who keeps their bike in their house? I have always dismissed this idea as impracticle, but I've seen a lot of photos of people doing it.

I've tried in the past getting it through a garden gate but there was barely enough room for the bike to fit though, yet alone me aswell stood along side it.

Also, I find wheeling it over even the smallest step really hard. The only way is to take a run up and risk dropping it if it goes wrong.

So how do you do it??

Carefully!

Yep, we do.:D

We've made a ramp out of a pallet and Pete just rides it up that and through the front door. Have to take the mirrors off to fit her through, but that's not a big problem.

Can fit two bikes in the front room, although there's only the 996 in there now.

I keep mine in my garage, but when i was selling my old one i used to take pictures of it up on a 2 foot high wall. Just have to be careful when your getting it up, same goes for sticking it in the house i would assume, you could always use a bit of the engine to push the front wheel over after that's in the back should be a doddle

Im Indoors kept 3 bikes indoors for years, when he didn't live with me. One of them was built upstairs in his bedroom!
He has a bike ramp that he found very handy many times.
I wheel bikes in and out of garden gates with ease these days, theres three I have to go through to get into my garden at the back where all ours are stored. Plus a very tight path round the first house is a little difficult, I've almost taken bricks out of the gable end with cans a few times :-(

Ive kept them in the house before, tuck the mirrors in and ride it up the ramp through the front door :)

Yeah, used to when I lived in Horfield.

Used to take it in through the front door and keep it in the kitchen

Sounds good when you kick it over in the kitchen

Ok, so it looks doable, just got to put a little effort into it.

I hope something like this doesn't happen when im going up the ramp with nowhere to put my feet down.
