Apartment dweller here, I can’t store it outside and I don’t have a garage, I was getting tired of just having it in the living room so I came up with this slightly better idea.
Anyone have any nice setups for keeping your bikes in your living spaces?
Yeah, that sounds nice, I’m rented so I can’t make permanent modifications. We’re on a town home (4 unit building with separate flats top and bottom) and this area isn’t great so I can’t keep it outside.
Already had my last bike stolen that way (2018 Fuji)
Before when I lived in the bottom flat I used the staircase to store it and that protected it from the elements, and passerby couldn’t see it.

Do you have any pics of your storage nook?
Looks cool. I live in a much less picturesque place. Typical eastern-European Soviet 9-floor building.
It is too narrow to make an overall photo. it looks like
|----| | G | --O--| | N | --M------|O – door to the staircase, N – neighbour flat door, M – my flat door. G – unworking garbage shute.
I get the picture, yeah that looks very tight
… hey, as long as it don’t bother your neighbor, that’s a good spot.
It is tight. But it is nice to have some “almost safe” place. Neighbour is adequate and stores his stuff there too. But that’s my flat and I live there for more than 20 years there. So no problems with a neigbour whatsoever.
In your case… have you considered to nail a rode in the wall and hang the bike in the corridor? It might make things more spatial. Plus less dirt in the winter if you have winter.
I thought about it, but not allowed to put holes in the wall or I would lose my deposit.
I got this entryway desk idea from Pinterest, I was going for something like this

Well, it is not '90s anymore, so pseudographics doesn’t work :)
