If you\u2019re done with biking for the season, then you need a long-term storage solution to keep your bike safe and out of your way during the cold months. Here are your main options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disassemble your bike and put the parts in a bike bag. Bike bags are specially designed to hold the different components of a bike, such as the frame, wheels, handlebars and seat, and they\u2019re quite compact, taking up very little space. Once you put the bike parts in the special bag, you can store it virtually anywhere \u2014 inside a closet, or on top of a tall piece of furniture.<\/li>\n<li>Get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self storage unit<\/a> for your bike and other sporting equipment or seasonal items. Instead of cluttering your small apartment with items you don\u2019t use daily, you can keep them safe and easily accessible at a storage facility located close to your home. Self storage is also quite affordable, so it won\u2019t put a strain on your budget. You can rent a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/5x5-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5&#215;5 unit<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ga\/atlanta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta<\/a>, for example, for as low as $50 per month; A similar storage locker starts from $56 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/wi\/madison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madison, WI<\/a> and you can rent one in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/dc\/washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington, DC<\/a> area for $57.<\/li>\n<li>Hang it from the ceiling \u2014 there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bike-Racks-Stands-Ceiling-Garage-Storage\/s?keywords=Bike+Racks+%26+Stands&amp;rh=n%3A165113011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A7800849011&amp;c=ts&amp;ts_id=165113011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">different products<\/a> that help you suspend your bike from the ceiling. It will definitely be out of your way, but, if you\u2019re renting, you should also consider the fact you\u2019ll have to fix the holes you made in the walls before moving out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-best-ways-to-store-your-bike-in-your-apartment-when-youre-using-it-every-day\"><\/span><strong>The best ways to store your bike in your apartment when you\u2019re using it every day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want access to your bike every day, things are a bit more complicated.

The downside is that it only holds one bike, so if your partner or roommate is also into biking, they\u2019ll have to get another one.<\/li>\n<li>Hang the bike on a wall \u2014 there are several solutions for storing the bike on a wall.

You could then simply slide your bike in there and skip the need for buying other devices. However, make sure that there\u2019s enough space to slide your bike in and out without scratching it or damaging the furniture and the walls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-protect-your-bike-during-winter\"><\/span><strong>How to protect your bike during winter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you intend to store your bike during the cold season or keep using it every day, there are a few steps you need to take to protect it.

Also, check the pressure in your tires every few days or so and inflate them when needed.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the chain and the gears regularly, every week, and lubricate the components that need lubrication.<\/li>\n<li>Check your shifter cables and change them when needed, as rain and snow will reduce their performance over time.<\/li>\n<li>Use a water-displacing spray on the bike\u2019s frame every few days to protect it from mud and melted snow.
