Hand-built Vintage Swallow Merlin Mountain Bike 1987 eBay

My wife never goes in the shed, apart from once when I just finished building it and it was empty. In fact, she rarely ever goes past the end of the lawn to the end of the garden where the shed is. Apart from 'bikes', she has no idea what's in there, although she does sometimes remark about the volume of cardboard recycling....

If it comes to space i suggest you follow the below rules of assessment I devised a few years back....

The Tootyred patent space audit process.....its actually justification for keeping bikes in the house, which may open up more avenues for storage!

Go round the house and assess the percentage space taken up with your stuff vs your partners.

Things to remember to include are....

1. Clothes, shoes and handbags. Normally a huge space hog. You can also legitimately claim back the space for 50% of your clothes, because, frankly, you never would have bought them.

2. All kitchen stuff. Think about it; if you lived on your own you would have a pint glass, a fork, plastic plate and a can opener. The rest is a legit claim.

3. Ornaments. Well nuff said really.

4. Any rooms occupied by children or their stuff. There's a high degree of probability that they and their space hogging is entirely the volition of the dorris.....q.e.d....

Once tabulated, present your findings (i personally go for a full over head projector pie / venn diagrams and handouts) this normally proves that the house you " share" is frankly being hogged by your partner and there's at least enough m2 " owed" to you for several bikes.

Good luck, stay strong and if all else fails, withdraw sexual services till its fixed

That’s a very good thorough analysis and assessment.

full over head projector pie / venn diagrams and handouts

which one of you does the overhead projector belong too??? Now that must take a lot of room in itself. From what I remember they need their own trolley and must be stored in their own cupboard along with a CRT TV and VCR which sit on an even larger trolley… just think of all the bikes you could store in that cupboard!
