I have a somewhat unique situation in that I do not have a garage or a carport, but I do have a small barn.

I plan on upgrading to a Marin Presidio 3 soon. There will probably long periods of time (say 2-4 weeks) where the bike won’t be ridden. The challenge of a barn is that things tend to degrade in there unless they are protected. Lots of dust/dirt, spiderwebs, critters, that sort of thing.

Looking for an suggestions of how I can store the bike to minimize damage from the immediate environment.

    The environment kinda matters some, but I’d say just set it up on some cinder blocks or a hook or something, cover it, and you’ll pretty much be fine. If you don’t have a bike bag/cover, you can make one easily by cutting up trash bags and connecting them with packing tape. If you want a more durable cover, buy contractor grade bags, trash compactor bags, or just buy a bike bag.

    Be sure to check over everything before you ride again, but a month isn’t that long really.
