Dealing with bikes, etc (garage setup)

Hey guys,

Just wondering how you all deal with people putting items around your car - bikes, lawn mowers, etc? My wife decided to recently start putting a bike next to my car, and I'm constantly worrying that it's going to fall onto my car one of these days. However, I just get the I'm paranoid look when I say something to her, LOL!

So, I was just wondering for the people that have kids, what do you to prevent your car from getting dinged, scratched, etc..?

Thanks much!

Jeff

P.s. I'm going to look into some hooks to hang the bike

My guess would be to just keep the garage as organized and clean as possible. Try to use your vertical space as much as possible.

I'm with Denzil, vertical space. Also look into the racks that hang it from the ceiling, yes you might have to get it down for her everytime she needs it, but atleast it will not be right next to your car. Or you can be like me and not let my wife have anything in the garage but her car.

why doesn't she put the bike on the other sid eof hte car? ie next to her car? remind her repairing paint is much more expensive then putting the bike farthur from your car.
