Looking for a garage-mate in Brooklyn, NY

[schtirlitz]

Hello all:

Is there anyone on this forum that lives in Brooklyn, NY or thereabouts who would have a garage or would be willing to share / rent a garage?

After 2.5 years being away from NYC, it is about 99% that moving back home to Brooklyn in about two months. My bike (PS1000LE) will be safe here in MD at friends garage for a few months, till April or so. I refuse to sell or get rid of my bike, and even willing to pay NYC insurance premiums...

So, back to my question... I am actually looking for someone to share /rent a garage with. I knew of a few people in B'klyn who would rent a garage on Coney Island avenue (by Prospect park, also there used to be garages by Dunkin' Dog-nuts on CI ave, etc...) and share a garage with 3 or 4 other bikers. Unfortunately, I have all but lost all contact with these guys cuz some of them do not ride anymore ($3000 insurance premiums), some just moved out of NYC, etc... So i am looking for more connections.

Hopefully there are some around this forum.

Cheers.

Eugene

are you looking for a place to keep the bike temp, or a permanent parking spot?

[schtirlitz]

Permanent actually. As a garaging solution.

I refuse parking on a street, obviously. I maybe able to payoff the building super to park the bike behind the building for the night, but its only a band-aid solution.

Cheers.

where do you live? and how far can you be from the garage?

[schtirlitz]

Finally getting some replies! Nice!

I am still in MD, I am shopping Real Estates right now and i have a few leads, but chances are when i move back here, I'll be in Midwood or Shipsheadbay in Brooklyn. I used to live in Midwood on E14th and Ave. P. This is the same general area I'd like to be in.

As far as how far i would be willing to be away from the bike?... don't know really.. it all depends, man. What have you got in mind?

Cheers!

My friend has a garage near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  His name is Victor and it is a bike friendly place.  You can call him at 718-909-4449 I think it's about $150 for bikes, but better to call and ask.



hope this helps

my dad is in the real estate buisness, and he just picked up a local property near my garage. closing isnt until February though. but its a parking lot that can hold 7 cars. its not indoors, and there's no security. its gated off though. And i leave my bike outside from time to time on that same block ( i live on it). nice neighborhood. but its a bit away from sheepshead or midwood. you could litterally walk to it from parkslope though.

not sure if that would help. i can ask my dad if hes cool with bikes there. I know a few people who has sheds. so that might be an option for you.

anyway, if you cant find nothing else. ill ask my pops.

Hey Man,
