Probably made for rice bikes only. They don't have too many parts that rust nowadays.

Since it is open at the bottom & vented at the top, it's better than if the bike has to sit in the rain. Also, makes it a little safer than sitting out in the open. Then there is if you don't have a garage or room to put one. As for size, I think they may have different sizes, but I don't speak Deutsch. Depending on a price not to mention I think there were some posts in another forum or thread that wanted more protection in their garage from the kids.

Somebody would come and steel it for scrap price and then take the bike cause it was there and open for taking. I'll park mine in the garage.

Looks like it would leak to me and cause condensation, no thanks.

I'm sure it would not be very hard to seal it better or have the opening on the end.
It's a good idea. You could make it out of wood and seal it.

Yea that would, I think they have those at Menards, Lowes and Home Depot. They call them a shed.

Nice idea for those that don't have a garage. I've spent time all over the world and we Americans just don't realize how good we have it with space.... I have friends from some parts and they don't understand the concept of a garage. Their question is why on earth would you want to house a car when it is driven outside anyways.
