Shared Bike Storage and Maintenance Checklist

The Bike Problem in Shared Homes

Bikes are essential in many cities, but they eat up space. In a shared home, three or four bikes can quickly become a tripping hazard or a source of conflict.

Storage Solutions

Wall hooks, ceiling pulleys, and foldable racks can store bikes vertically. Agree on a storage area — garage, balcony, or dedicated wall — and assign spots.

Shared Tool Kit

Pool your bike tools: pump, tire levers, multi-tool, chain lube. Keep them in one place and track who bought what. HomeCo helps split the cost of shared gear.

Monthly Maintenance

Check tire pressure, chain tension, and brakes monthly. Rotate who does the maintenance check, or make it a shared activity.

Security

Agree on locking rules. Even in a "safe" building, bikes get stolen. Use quality locks and, if possible, store bikes indoors.
