Subject: bike storage
I am putting up my tri-bike up for the winter, is there any specific way I should be storing it? I live in central Texas where it does not get that cold, but it gets very wet and humid. My bike will be in my garage. Sorry for the dumb question.

I'm in SA and I keep my bikes in the garage year round. I haven't had any issues. If you don't plan on riding you might give everything a good dose of silicone lube, particularly the chain. Silicone will repel moisture and not gum up as much with dust accumulation. You could also take the wheels off and two large trash bags should cover the frame, then individually bag the wheels. This will keep the dust from gunking things up.
