I'm wondering how everyone stores their gear when not in use, whether for the off season or just between rides. I'd be especially interested in the city folk who don't have a garage or the ability to build/buy a shed, as that's my situation.
The reason I ask is that we have limited closet space, and my 3 jackets, 2 helmets, boots, gloves, tankbag and mesh pants are starting to take over (and my collection is likely to grow, not shrink). I'm thinking of getting a big, airtight tub (from Target or Kohl's or what have you) and just throwing my stuff in there. Then I can either tuck it in a corner or even leave it out on the balcony. I'm mostly worried about the gear itself or the padding within it losing its form from not being hung up. In addition, there are all sorts of loose bits (parts of zippers, extra visors, etc) that I'd prefer keeping all together in a single place, rather than sort of spread out as they are now.
Anyone have any other space-saving solutions? What do you use?
