Q7. If your cycle is wet or muddy, and your store it indoors, how do you prevent it from making your place a mess?

I am surprised how much dirt and leaves can come in just from wet tires.

@ascentale @bikenite as my bike are stored in a very small flat they have to hang on wall. There is a rack just next to the door which is the only place for dirty bikes and a folded tarp underneath when bike is dripping

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @bikenite your "folded tarp" got me thinking: upgrade with a fold-down shelf! Most of the time it stays folded up, but when wet, hang up bike, then fold down shelf. Hooks could hold helmet, too. The tricky part is that you really want a drip tray, but it needs a cupped shape so it won't dump water all over your floor when you fold it up. A towel might help, but those will unpredictabiy drip when saturated.

@trouble @ascentale @bikenite

A tarp with uprolled edges( if you see what I mean) is enough to hold all the drips my bike will produce from one dowsing. I have had to mop it between rides
