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?

Ignore the mud. She had a rough day at the jump track yesterday.

She's the best. Goes down and up any trail I can find. She'll jump 8 meters (more if she had a better rider than me) without complaining a bit.

Making me put the gravel tires back on mine XD

I wish I had some nice mountain trails around me but unfortunately I live in one of the flattest places on earth

How do you clean her? any recommendations for the gear train?

I just spray her down with water and then scrub with dish soap and water. Just make sure you scrub the drive train after the discs so you don't fuck your brake pads with grease residue. But most of the time I just leave her dirty because I ride most days and it gets old cleaning mud off her. I call it structural mud with my friends. If she sounds rough or the mud starts falling off in chunks I'll give her a quick wash.
