If i keep bikes in a wood shed with metal roof in florida will they rust?

Question

Im worried about the high humidity. I keep my lawnmower in there and it seems fine. Would it matter if I hung the bikes from the ceiling of the shed, or left them on the floor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

With consistent humid conditions either keep it indorrs or wipe the bare metal down with a light oil. Wipe again with a clean rag, this will help reduce rust but attract some dirt. I do this on my kids bikes I leave in the garage year-round. Works well.

Answer 2

Everything metal rusts in Florida. You can't stop it, you can only slow it down.

Answer 3

No, not as long as you keep moisture off the bikes.

Answer 4

You need to keep your bikes in the house somewhere.  FL horrible humidity will ruin them eventually even in a shed.  I don't keep anything I like outside or in a shed.  What a nasty place to live.

Answer 5

If the shed has a good floor and is well enclosed it's better than keeping them outside. But you will see more corrosion than keeping inside a climate controlled house.
