Cycle Shelters
Hello,
Unfortunately I don't have a garage to store my ride in, and I wanted something better than a cover. I found a few models of cycle storage shelters, Speedway, Cycleshelter, Bikebarn, etc. Has anyone used one of these or have any recommendations of which brand is better.
Thanks,
Bill

The storage shed would be a better idea, but my town has strange rules about sheds.

Hey Bill I am from Long Island also. I am selling the Cruiser size cycleshell used only one month and in great shape. I paid 450 dollars for it. Come out and see it in person and make me an offer. Send me a PM if you are interested.

I got a 10x10 shelter from Walmart.com It lasted through the winter and looks to be nice quality that will last. About $160 I think.

I just ordered 2 cycleshells last week. I'm waiting for them to be made and shipped right now. I did quite a bit of research and found cycleshell to be the better of the choices. The bike barn has a crappy floor, as does the other option that looks like a bike barn. The cycleshell has the hard plastic floor,, I like that.

I bought a Touring Size Bike Barn for my RG last year. Had some problems with shipping, and packing, but they straightened it out. Works as described, but security is a little lax. The locking mechanism can be easily bent. I would suggest a disk lock, or a security siren to add as a feature. Also need to treat the canvas to repel mold/ mildew. To provide better structure, I screwed the main connecting tubes together as well as bolted down the hold down plate that you park your front tire on.
I also installed a 2 amp solar trickle charger to mine. Does a nice job of keeping the battery topped off.
Don't have to worry too much about snow down here, but I did take it apart, and take it inside to avoid a storm. Hope my landlord don't mind me parking my bike in my apartment from time to time.
