Winter Storage
Hi. My husband and I bought some Electra crusiers and have ridden them like crazy all summer. However, it is starting to get much colder and is going to snow anyday now. We have to store the bikes outside since we live in an apartment and I don't know how to prepare them for winter. Any tips or suggestions? Should we cover them in a tarp or something? Thanks!

Bikes are like cats, they live inside  Well mine do. Wow, no riding during winter! Where I come from there isn't snow, just rain, so riding is still possible. No riding So having no experience in this I can't really give you any 1st hand advise. You can't dismantle them to make then easier to store inside? |

There are two issues: 1. Security - Do you have safe and secure outside storage? You wouldn't want them to vanish on you. 2. The elements - I would smear petroleum jelly on anything that may corrode. I would remove the saddles and take them indoors. Then I would cover with a tarp. Ensure that there is space at the bottom for ventilation. You don't want water to condense inside. Overall, they are best brought inside. I would stash them anywhere there is room. Cheers
