parking your bike...
has anyone ever parked their bike in their apartment?
right now i keep it at my parent's place, but it is a pain when i want to go for a ride and i have to drive to their place first.
i probably wouldnt keep it in there all the time. mostly when it is raining or when the weather is crappy.

did your landlord say anything about it? im trying to decide if i should let them know or just park it in there anyways and see if they say anything.

I am in this same conundrum, I live at an apartment complex that is kind of ghetto. I am pondering getting the cyclone 866 alarm for it. Right now, I keep it at my brothers and it is a pinta to go there and get it. My dads hosue is closer, but still a pain to get it, ride it, store it.
the whole parking lot is on a hill too, so i always feel like my bike is gonna fall over when i park it.

if i bring it in i was going to get some heavy duty cardboard to set it on. my apartment is all carpet and though my bike doesnt leak any fluids i figured i would park it on something just in case.

I keep mine in my apartment. I used to park it in front of my sliding glass doors until the management told me it was a fire hazard. Are you kidding me? So I said screw em and wheeled it in and closed the blinds. I keep it in all the time now except when I need to do some work on it.
My apartment complex isn't all that ghetto but I still get some peace of mind and my bike is a little less weathered as well. I just use some old beach towels to roll it in on as my bike doesn't leak any fluids. Might want to lay down a more rigid surface, especially under the sidestand, if you don't ride all the time. My bike is my daily driver so I don't have to worry about that.
