    New to Aussie, advice on South Old trails pls

    Look for Wollongong mtb trails on facebook . Join up and enjoy . Heaps of trails . Also we have Cringila mtb park - these are short runs though . With Sydney being close by there are multiple options close like Heathcote , RNP , Kentlyn , Appin , Mill creek etc . Nowra trails are more XC...

    Bike storage shed ideas...

    Its the rack it shelving you get from bunnings - pretty cost effective and stable as . Up top are the wire shelves . Work out gaps for bikes - it supposed to be top and tail but I get lazy - 4x2 across cable tied screw hooks in . I do this to accomodate different spacings . Wood shelf the...

    Bike storage shed ideas...

    Looks good but yeah expensive . My first thought was for my boards , but yikes at the price . This is mine . Shits messy because of long renos so threw it up to get something going in the garage until I can spend more time in there and be able to move around .
