As a bike owner, you want to ensure that it’s kept in good condition every time. Whether you live in a small apartment or home, it’s crucial to create a space for your bike. Many people opt for the shed or garage, which is a good option if it is climate-controlled. Luckily, you don’t have to own a garage or a big house to store your bike because Olympic Storage has a solution. Our storage units come in different sizes to allow you to rent according to your storage needs. All our units are climate-controlled, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your property. If you need space for your bike, call our team; we will be happy to help.
Best Practices for Storing Your Bike and Gear
To keep your bike in good condition, whether in a garage or storage unit, it’s essential to know some of the best tips to do so correctly. We also recommend learning essential maintenance tips to ensure you keep the bike only when it’s in good condition. Storing a faulty bike in a cramped space can worsen its condition. Here are a few tips to guide you.
Clean Your Bike Before Storage
Dirt and grime will eventually damage your bike if you allow them to sit too long. This applies to all types of bikes, especially dirt bikes and mountain bikes. Whether you’re storing your bike in the house or a storage unit, ensure it is clean and dry. Take time to wipe and polish the frame, seat, handlebar, and reflectors. Remove mud and grit from the joints, wheel, brakes, chain, and gears. This would be a good time to lubricate your bike with manufacturer-approved oil thoroughly. Once clean, lubricate your bike with the suitable lubricant and thoroughly check the tires, grease, and brakes. This helps prepare your bike for storage and prepares it for any trip.
Keep your space organized
We store very many things in our garages apart from cars and motorcycles. We keep large farm machines, yard tools, house repair tools, and many tools, devices, appliances, and electronics we don’t use. If left unorganized, you may not have enough room for your bike. It only takes a simple bump for your vehicle to knock a nearby motorcycle, causing damage to other valuable items. If you must store your precious bike in the garage, make sure it is strategically stored. Keep out of the way of everyday objects.
Store Bicycles in a Self-Storage Unit
If you’re a biker or bike enthusiast, you probably have more than one bike. That means you also want to keep your collection in good condition, and the best way to do that is to use a self-storage unit. At Olympic Storage, our units are accessible 24 hours, seven days a week, so that you can grab your bike for that early-morning ride or those late-night treks. Our units are available in different sizes to fit your storage needs. The process of getting a unit is simple and contactless. That means you can complete your rental agreement, make your first payment, and start using your unit.
