The current weather situation has me thinking about where we will store our bicycles in the new house.
We won’t have a garage or carport ready by the move-in date yet.
The utility room is too small and not really the right place for them.
How do you handle this? Does everyone have a garage or carport?
A shed? Or maybe even a dedicated bicycle garage?
We use our bikes almost daily, both summer and winter.

As mycraft already mentioned, there is usually some kind of shed or shelter on the property. You need a place to store garden tools, car equipment, and so on – that’s where they go.
Looking ahead, you can add a garage or carport if it isn’t built right away. Hardly anyone wants to leave their bicycle exposed to the weather all the time, especially if they use it regularly.

Quite a few metal sheds have changed owners from one shell construction to the next because builders always need someplace to store things before the actual carport is delivered. Our garage stored everything that didn’t belong inside the house during the moving month of January.
What kind of protection are you planning to have later on? I would consider a temporary solution that can still be used afterward.
Eventually, there will probably be a carport with an adjoining storage shed.
As a temporary solution, I have also considered something more affordable like a metal shed for 200-300 EUR (about 220-330 USD). Ideally, it would be second-hand.
I also found the idea of using old shipping containers – 20 or 40 feet – in the garden and converting them quite interesting. However, that’s not suitable as a temporary solution since it is too expensive.
