Morning all
Due to imminent garage rebuild i need to store my bike on the house. Naturally my missus isn't happy about this so to prevent divorce, does anyone recommend a bike cover/bag that i can put a possibly muddy 29er into in the House. I know Evoc do one but its a bit pricey!
Cheers

Clean the bike first?
Even cleaned i don't think her indoors would be happy!
Have a look at Velosock
Double attress wrapper?
Cheapest duvet cover you can find of an agreeable style
Where are you? I have a huge CRC bike bag ye can have for a princely sum!.
Even if you're not near me (Ayrshire), this would be the way to go, take bag outside, wheels off and into bag, lift in the house. Done.
I use something called the kitchen.
If you are going to use a bike bag in the future, eg travel/ bikes in hotel rooms etc, then buying a decent bike bag is worth it. Get the biggest one you can that fits in your car.
I keep mine in the house,
just wash it first.

Does the garage rebuild involve any concrete going into the ground?
I use velosocks for mine.
New patio while the garage is being done?
Cover it in scatter cushions,she may never notice.
As granny_ring said but with an m.
It doesn't need a cover, just something under it. I got some kind of plastic sheeting from Dunelm, think it might've been a table protector or something, the important thing was it was red with spots so looked a bit Cath Kidston 😀
cheers for the replies gents. I do have a chain reaction bike bag that i coulduset like the velosock option as less bulky (and may be more acceptable to the wife as.funky colours available). No concrete work just a new roof on the garage.
My suggestion that it could live in the bedroom went down.....well badly!

Where do you find this?
Perhaps ironically, what was our garage is now a kitchen…
Due to lack of garage, we had a storage area for bikes built inside the house… the key issue being the difficulty of getting bikes on the house insurance without lockable storage.
Dirtbag?
White Lightning Johnny bike bag
I just keep whichever bike I’ve been riding/am working on in the utility room, along with the fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher....
I do clean them first and it’s a quarry tiled floor.
What’s the worst that can happen?
Got 4 muddy bikes, two kaysks and a stack of my fishing gear in a downstairs room in the house.
I only have to wheel/drag them through the kitchen/living room/hall to get them where they're going 🙂
I'd recommend Match.com orEHarmoney. Have friends who've found success.
surely it would be cheaper to buy a bag for the missus?
