Here's what I would propose:
In garage, for easy access:
o the road bikes
o my old mountain that bike my older daughter is riding as her primary bike
o the larger of the two kids' bike for the younger daughter
o the two tandems (hang these from hooks, as they take up the most room)
In the snug, warm basement:
o my husband's mountain bike or the hybrid
To be sold:
o the trailer
o the beater (or given away, or chucked)
o the smaller of the two kids' bikes
o my husband's mountain bike or the hybrid -- they're too close in function
to retain both. I personally nominate the hybrid, as I believe it has a
decent resale value, and the mountain bike just needs some minor
repairs/maintenance to be functional (it isn't now).
Warm Regards,
