What about just opening the door once a day when you get your vehicle out?
Provided that you keep your other vehicles in the garage?
That would probably keep enough air circulating, especially on a windy day....

theres always the retarded looking option that really works
I live 30 feet above the pacific ocean nothing stops it 365 days a year
mirrors are pitted in less than 6 months
I am going to own one of these someday

My problem is an unheated garage with the washer and dryer in it. Cold air temps with the dryer running and everything gets wet. Only solution I've found so far is I have a ceiling fan going full blast, and I crack open the garage door when the dryer is going. This has worked well for our cars. I hope it does the same for the bike as this will be it's first winter with us.

Best option IMHO, provided you are storing it without intending to ride again until spring. I used this product in an unheated shed for many years after battling many previous years of moisture issues, corroded aluminum rodent damaged electrics etc. until I built my heated garage. The bike would come out in the spring just like it went in in the fall. Spotless. Cleaner than my bike does now in my garage. In the garage dust still gets up under my day cover. No worries about electric usage, fires etc. Put her to bed inside pull her out in the spring.

I used to use a similar cycle shield, that Rickr01 writes about, years ago and had good results. I lost it during one of my many moves, otherwise I'd still be using the shield.
Hey Rickr, want to sell yours?

I would definitely not be sanguine about leaving a fan running or light under a sheet with my bike all winter.
Bring it in the house.
Or move to Florida.

My bike sits on a rubber backed carpet, in an unheated garage. I cover it with a light cotton bed sheet and put this under the bike. It also comes in a gallon sized bucket. I never have/had a problem with moisture forming on it. In the early spring time when we get daily temperature swings I remove the sheet and put a small fan next to the bike.
