How can one attach? Or store?

Any thoughts?

Something else to think about . . . unlike most things in your boat
which are corrossion resistant (note I did not say corrossion proof)
to some degree or another . . . bicycles begin to rust almost
immediately unless you really stay after them. I grew up a few blocks
for the ocean and had more than a few friends riding "solid rust"
bicycles. Even such things as the springs beneath the seat (saddle?)
would rust. Nowadays with composite frames, small or no fenders, and
a lot less chrome, this might be less of an issue.

Happy trails.

My brother and sister and law cruise up and down the coast from NYC to
Maine on a J/34C. They use full road bikes in the rear quarter berth
with the front rear wheels off. They have had no problems, even with a
good pounding in Buzzards Bay.

Neither of them are real tall so their bikes are not huge, but with road
bikes, it is not like there is that much a difference in size with the
front wheel off.

Neither of them like to buy toys so their bikes are not new and them
seem unrusted to me.
