I share an 800 square foot apartment with two other college students and we each have our own bedrooms, though they are somewhat small. We also have a kitchen, eating area, a bathroom and a living room. So it's small without a lot of room for extra stuff.
One of my roommates has decided to get not one, but two bicycles. She insists on keeping both of them inside, in our small living room. She can't really put them in her room, as it's too small and she refuses to lock them up outside (her excuse is that "they might get stolen."
Most people can get by on a bike, but she has to specialize. She has a "road bike" and her "mountain bike" and she "has to have both of them.
So now we have two bicycles sitting in our living room. For the other roommate and I, this is an issue. The apartment is already not very big. So having two bikes sitting in the living room is really imposing her choices on the two of us. It's especially annoying when we have people over.
What should we do?
