Your bike's immune system must be critically weak...

Exactly that.
I have been using these for 25 years or so and that's why I replaced the old one.

If it works for you, no reason to change. These bikes will corrode if not properly cared for. The solid plastic bottom probably helps too. Moisture can come up through concrete.

So the bike stays relatively clean inside of there?

It's a very safe neighbourhood but I have the disc lock so it might as well be on there.
The bike comes back out exactly as it went in, sparkling
