Where I live, 1k gets you a decent commuter bike without a motor. Doesn't even matter much if used or new. Then you spend ~200 on parts every year. It's outside 24/7, I don't have a garage.

Oh yeah it took me years to finally find an apartment where the landlord would allow me to get a storage shed. I'm glad I can finally own a bike.

Leaving the bike outside all the time was always taught to me as a no-no that'll pretty much instantly ruin your bike, so I hadn't considered it.

Now though I'm moving this year or next year and I'm unsure how we'll manage with my shed. Can it be moved? Will someone buy it? ๐Ÿค” Eh, I guess I'll see.

I don't have a garage either, but I want to get a shed so I can stop spending $200/yr in repairs.

Anything but carrying the bike up from the basement every morning

Oh god that would stop me from using my bike so fast.
