How do you store your exercise bike?

I don't store it I use it 1 hour a day every day. At all other times it is in the garage

The short answer is - I don't. I have it in a place for use, but because the unit has no tension knob, which I didn't know before I purchased, I'm not using it...a total waste of money and space. I'm actually trying to give it away.

Sorry Gail, I did purchase this item but did not open it and sent it back. I read a review after ordering it describing the dimensions of the book holder and realized that it would not fit my exercise bike. It's the only item of around a hundred that I've purchased from Amazon that I've sent back.Sorry I'm not much help. Oh, my bike is a HealthRider H10 X if that helps. Gene

Sorry, there is no lock. It's fitted very tight so there is no way it will fly off while you are biking. As for theft, I suppose you could loop a lock through the cover and around the side bar.I just use it to go to the grocery store (so it's empty while I'm inside) and to work.

There's a lock washer on the inside at the bottom that secures the box to the mounting bracket. Theoretically, you'd probably have to break some portion of it to get it off the bike without opening it.

If your stationary bike has a front panel like most treadmills, I think it will be fine. Just be aware that the gap where you place your iPad, book, etc, is pretty wide. It's more suitable to hold a hardcover book.

This item can be stored flat or upright. It is important to have the lock in place for security.

I use it for storing my bike because I don't want to use the "kick stand" everyday. The chain & back wheel will move freely. Great for lubing the chain. The front wheel will be on the ground & will not move. Hope this helps.

I would store it seperate just because it will compress, and then you will have to let it sit out for a while for it to expand back.

If you use foam tape, you can build uo the surface to allow adequate support. We used that on my bike with great success. My only caution is watch the battery life. Don't leave your unit turned on when you store your bike! The system could use a little design tweaking, but it is a pretty good device for biking safety.

I see no reason why it couldn't be used for outside storage as the materials should do fine. You may want to coat the underside with a silocone protectant as the thread which adjusts for the size of the tire is metal and would certainly be prone to rust given a cllimate (near the ocean) or high humidity etc... Also you may wish to think about how you might secure it since someone could easily walk away with your bike (even if you bike was secured to the stand) - so you may want to come up with some way to secure the bike stand to whatever outdoor fixture you were thinking about.

It's very simple to fold up. 1: Position pedal on left side of bike at 45 degrees, between straight ahead and down. 2: undo handle bar clasp and fold handle bars down 3: undo frame clasp and fold bike in half 4: remove seat (optional)

A reliable place is any REI store or Performance Bicycle store. But still have a repair kit and inflator. I carry a compress co2 inflator to save space and weight.

Measure the width of your seat. Bought it and it was too small for my exercise bike.

You can lock the wheels to the frame before putting the bike inside the bag. You could then wrap a lock tightly around the frame.However, you cannot lock directly into the frame or wheels once the bike is inside the bag. The bag has no holes, as its purpose is to keep dust/moisture out.You could make holes yourself but I think you would then run into the danger of tearing through the bag. I wouldn't recommend this approach.This bag works for me since I live in an apartment and leave my bike in the balcony. I don't have a need for locks.

Amazon has a nice basket you may purchase. I used a small canvas tote bag on the handle bars and it served me well both at home and work.

Absolutely, we have stored a bike on this for weeks when working on a complete rebuild. Have you considered a storage hook on the wall/ceiling?
