How to fit a bike in a small apartment. Bicycle storage in the apartment

Bike. Once beloved by many of us as an individual mode of transportation, the bicycle was, in the recent past, relegated to the far corner of history for the sake of acquiring a brand new, or not so, foreign car. True, outdoor activities with long cycling trips were not completely abandoned, but they turned to him from time to time.

The rapid growth of large cities and their transformation into megacities played a cruel joke on motorists, and made them think of a two-wheeled friend. Increasingly, people on bicycles began to appear on the streets, and on weekends and holidays, bike rides were again organized by the municipality to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Bicycle sales have almost doubled compared to last year. People change to bicycles, leaving the car in the garage. Bugs, you know...

says the senior manager of BikeSalon, a Moscow bike shop located on 5th Cable Street.

Not everyone wants to stand in many kilometers of traffic jams on highways, especially during the warm weather season. But with the increase in the number of owners of a two-wheeled vehicle, problems began to arise not only with parking. A complication after a pleasant purchase was the storage of bicycles in an apartment, especially if the apartment is small.

Flights of stairs, wheelchairs, parking at the entrance, this, of course, is a way out of this situation, but until the indignant neighbors demand to remove the bicycle, since such an image of storage violates the Fire Safety Standards. In addition, it is no secret to anyone that bicycles have always been a tasty morsel for yard thieves. And no devices are able to save a faithful friend from their trade.

So you have to keep the iron horse in your own apartment - on the balcony, in the corridor, in the room, or even in the kitchen, taking away the living space, which is already not enough.

The main task of modern designers has become the question of not only storing bicycles in the apartment, but also fitting them into the interior in such a way that the already small area of ​​\u200b\u200bliving rooms is not cluttered, and the interior shows a special charm that emphasizes the lifestyle of the owner of this room.

Believe me, there are a lot of ideas. Non-standard solutions have become especially popular. And this is not just locking the bike in the pantry or taking it out to the balcony or loggia. Least of all problems arise with the placement of folding bikes in the apartment:

Even in a one-room small-sized apartment, there will always be a secluded corner for them, where the folded model will not bother anyone. But there are bikes that don't fold, and most of them. In addition to the issue of accommodation, there is a separate issue of bicycle storage - these are weather conditions. Everything is just in dry warm weather. He wiped the bike, wheels, frame, and brought it into the room. Rain, mud, slush dictate not so much the special conditions for storing bicycles in the off-season, but the specifics of caring for them. But each cyclist decides this question on his own.

How to hang a bike on the wall

The ideal way to store a clumsy model bike is to hang it from a wall opening. Consider options for hanging a bicycle on a wall in the hallway, on the balcony, in the garage using various mounts:

  • horizontal method;
  • upright;
  • suspended from the ceiling.

Did you know that if there are several bikes in the family, you can use special brackets or purchase a rack on which several bikes are suspended at once.

Horizontal position of the bike on the wall

The option of hanging a bicycle on the wall by the frame is the most common type of bike storage. For this purpose, special holders are used:

  • bike hook;
  • shelf-pole;
  • mounting bracket.

There are a great many designs of bike hooks, but the principle is the same for all holders. Some hooks just need to be screwed into the wall like a screw, while other types of bike hooks are welded onto a wall-mounted base.

There are bike hooks for storing the bike, both horizontally and vertically. The most positive thing about the design of some hooks is that the bike, when suspended, fits snugly against the wall. When the bike is removed, the rubberized hook can be turned towards the wall so that it does not stick out and cannot be hit.

Vertical bike storage on the wall

You can store your bike vertically with:

  • vertical fastening in the form of special hooks;
  • racks;
  • bike racks.

Especially popular is the vertical mount, designed for two bicycles with wheel diameters up to 29 inches at once.

It is important to know that when hanging two bicycles at the same time, the distance between them must be at least half the length of the handlebar so that the bikes do not touch either the pedals or the handlebars.

One of the most original vertical mounts is the TM Da Vinci holder model with a rear wheel stand. It helps to avoid rubber marks on the walls.

With racks, many relationships develop quite “tight”, due to the bulkiness of the design. Racks made of metal tubes are rarely used. More often they can be seen in cycling clubs, where several bikes need to be parked at the same time.

The range of bicycle shelves is quite large. The design of such shelves for bicycles is elegant and attractive, besides, they fit perfectly into the interior of any apartment.

Bike storage on the balcony

Long-term storage of a bicycle on the balcony implies careful preparation for the upcoming conservation. There are certain rules for storing a bike so as not to shorten its life:

  1. Thorough cleaning of the bicycle, especially the wheels, from various kinds of dirt.
  2. Removing old grease.
  3. Applying new grease to the main components of the bike - derailleur, brake system, hinge systems.
  4. Each metal part must be carefully lubricated with machine oil to avoid a corrosive process.
  5. Before long-term storage, the shock absorber springs must be lowered.
  6. The tires of a bicycle stored on the floor should be inflated regularly to avoid deformation of the rubber.
  7. To prevent the rubber from drying out, it should be lubricated with silicone.

As a left-luggage office, you can use the most shaded corner on the loggia or balcony, where the sun's rays do not penetrate well. An iron friend should have constant access at any time of the year. For winter storage of a bicycle, it is desirable to minimize its size:

  • turn the steering wheel 90 °;
  • remove the front wheel;
  • unscrew the pedals by screwing them from the back side, from the connecting rods;
  • place on the wall with bike hooks.

For all-weather storage of the bike on the balcony, you can use mountings of various plans, both wall-mounted and floor-mounted. Mounts that allow you to place a bike under the ceiling are very popular.

How to hang a bike from the ceiling

Ceiling mounts are available in two versions:

  1. Models equipped with a pulley system for lifting and lowering the apparatus without the use of a ladder, with a simple hook-like ceiling fixation. The disadvantage of this fastener is its small load capacity. Ceiling mounts are not recommended for use on bikes weighing over 22 kg.

  1. Models for hanging a bicycle with the wheels up in the form of simple long hooks for hanging, fixed to the ceiling with a platform.

A detailed video will tell you how to independently assemble a bike lift with a blocking device and place it on the ceiling:

Unusual bike storage

Store the bike in the closet

Special purpose storage includes bike cabinets. A distinctive feature of this part of the interior is its bulkiness. Owners of spacious rooms and wide hallways can afford to store a bicycle in a closet, where you can independently build such a furniture attribute.

In the bicycle closet, not only the bike is placed, but also equipment - helmets, knee pads, and other protective paraphernalia. The biggest drawback of such a specific part of the interior can be attributed to its high cost.

Well, if the owner of the bicycle is also the owner of the plot, then in addition to the garage where bicycles are often stored, for the bike you can build a separate bicycle garage instead of a closet, or put up a simple tent:

The vast majority of bike owners use them only in good warm weather - in spring, summer and quite a bit in autumn. Winter is the season for courageous cyclists (whose number, however, is increasing every year). If you have not joined this row yet, the answers to the questions “Where to store a bicycle in winter and how to prepare it for winter storage?” will be very relevant. If winter is not a hindrance for you, then the features of preparing and cycling in winter will be useful to you.


Step 1. Choose a storage location


The first step is to decide where your bike will be stored in the winter. The ideal storage option is a dry room without sudden changes in temperature. It can be an apartment or a vestibule (a platform for several apartments behind a separate door). At the same time, please note that the bike should not be close to heaters - this negatively affects the paintwork and plastic parts.

Another option is on a glazed loggia (balcony). In this case, it is enough to protect the bike from direct sunlight by covering it with a thick cloth, opaque film, or something similar.

If the temperature on the loggia drops below zero in winter, it is recommended to remove the headlight, taillight, bike computer, wheels, suspension fork, saddle, grips, pump, fenders from the bike and store it all in a dry, warm room. Otherwise, under the influence of negative temperatures, they may become unusable or lose their “marketable” appearance.

It is highly not recommended to leave the bike to "winter" on an unglazed loggia (balcony), because in this case it will be negatively affected by high humidity, precipitation in the form of rain and snow, as well as sudden changes in temperature.



Step 2. Wash, dry, lubricate

Before you "mothball" the bike for the winter, it must be cleaned of dirt. This is important because urban dirt contains aggressive ingredients. Therefore, the first step is to carefully wash the bike and let it dry (or wipe it dry). The chain must first be cleaned of old grease, dried, and then re-lubricated - a special grease is used for this. Gear shifters, brake pivots and rear derailleur rollers should be lubricated with oil, such as lithol.
We advise you to wipe a clean frame with a soft cloth soaked in machine oil (a few drops are enough). After such processing, a thin protective film is formed on the frame, due to which dust will not stick.
To protect tires from cracking, they must be treated with a special silicone spray.


Step 3 Loosen Tight Knots

If you don’t want to face the problem of rusted switch springs in the spring, then make sure that all the stressed components of the bike “rest” in the winter - they are in a weakened state. V-brakes should be released. The chain must be shifted to the smallest sprockets so that 1-7 gear is set for a 21 speed bike (or 1-8 gear for a 24 speed bike).

Step 4. Inflate / “lower” the wheels

Before you start preparing the wheels, you need to understand how the bike will be stored. If the bike will stand on wheels all winter, then you need to inflate the tires to the maximum allowable value, which is indicated on the sidewall of the tire. In this case, in winter, you need to check the tires from time to time so that they are inflated all the time - otherwise they will collapse under the weight of the bike and crack.

If you plan to store the bike in a suspended state, then you can safely reduce the pressure in the tires.


Step 5. We take out the batteries

When storing the bike for a long time, especially in case of temperature fluctuations, you should remove the batteries from the headlight, taillight and bike computer. Otherwise, not only the batteries can be oxidized, but also the contacts in the devices themselves, which will render them unusable.

Step 6. "Fold" the bike


After you have fully prepared the bike for winter storage and decided where and in what condition it will be stored, you may find that it will interfere with you and its “parking” will take up a lot of space. In this case, even a clumsy bike can be partially “folded”. For example, you can rotate the handlebar 90 degrees (so that it becomes parallel to the frame), after loosening the nuts and removing the front wheel. You can also install the pedals "inside" - turning them out of the cranks and wrapping them from the inside. In addition, to save space, the saddle should be lowered or removed altogether. In this form, your bike will take up much less space.

Step 7. We are waiting ...

After we have fully prepared the bike for the winter, we start looking forward to the next cycling season, read the article "How to prepare a bike for the next cycling season", plan cycling and cycling routes, and also study other useful material that will definitely come in handy in the upcoming season.



All members of my family regularly use a bicycle - it is not only a means of transportation, but also an active recreation. Unfortunately, due to its bulkiness, it is difficult to find a suitable storage place for it. There are no hopeless situations, so I will offer you some ideas on how to store a bicycle in an apartment so that it does not take up much space.

Storage Options

Where to store the bike? Just put it in the corridor or leave it on a common area? Not an exit. We need to look for alternatives.

In the closet: 5 ideas

It is not always possible to allocate a separate place for a bicycle in an apartment, therefore, to save space, you can place it compactly in a closet.

Instructions on how to do this:

Image Description
Method 1. In the pantry.

In a small apartment, you can put the bike folded in the pantry.

It is most convenient to use this method in winter, when transport is not used.

Method 2. Horizontally.

Select two separate deep shelves in the chest of drawers and place the vehicle inside horizontally.


Method 3. Vertically.

You can fix the bike at home on the wall of a narrow closet in the hallway or bedroom.

For fastening, special strong brackets are used.

Method 4. In the closet.

Two bicycles can be placed next to each other in the closet.

Bulky bikes fit perfectly in the outerwear compartment.


Method 5. In special niches.

There are original ways to solve the problem. You can order the design of a special cabinet, in which there will be a separate place for the "iron horses".

In the room: 6 ideas

A bicycle can be a great element of room decor. To do this, it must be fixed on a special shelf or on the wall.

How to hang a bike on the wall with your own hands:

Image Description
Approach 1. Bicycle storage system on the wall.

On sale there are special storage systems:

  1. Attach the brackets to the wall with bolts.
  2. Reinforce the structure if necessary.
  3. Attach the "iron horses" to the rear wheels.

The price of such systems depends on the number of large bikes and their maximum allowable weight.


Approach 2. Mini-system.

Small coasters that can hold a maximum of two vehicles.


Approach 3. Horizontally.
  1. Screw in two fasteners at a height of 1 meter from each other.
  2. Hang the first great on top, and the second immediately below it (example in the photo).
Approach 4. Wheels to the wall.

A small mechanism is screwed into the wall, which firmly holds the “iron horse” by the front wheel.


Approach 5. Homemade rack.
  1. Take several wooden boards of different heights and widths.
  2. Build a structure like a hanger.
  3. Fasten everything with screws.
  4. Hang the bikes from the top of the frame.

Approach 6. Behind the sofa.

The simplest solution is to put the vehicle behind a sofa or bed, so it will not interfere.

So that the “two-wheeled friend” does not stain the surrounding objects, you can use a wheel cover.


Under the ceiling: 3 ideas

We figured out how to hang a bike on the wall. Now let's figure out how to attach it to the ceiling:

Image Description

Option 1. Ceiling storage system.

In fact, the same mount as for the wall. A distinctive feature - you can place more than three copies.


Option 2. Bracket.

A bracket is screwed into the ceiling with strong bolts, on which the bike is suspended from the frame.


Option 3. Hanging mount.

Now quite often there are fasteners that operate on the principle of "winch". Such a winch can be attached in any convenient place.

Accessories

Storing a bicycle in an apartment is an important issue for all owners of two-wheeled vehicles. In Europe, cyclists are treated with due respect - there is a developed network of bike paths and parking lots. Two-wheeled transport has become widespread not only as a way to keep yourself in good physical shape, but also as an economical means of getting around the city. There are many custom bike storage solutions at home offered by designers.

Bicycle storage options in the apartment

  • In apartments where there is enough space, you can install a special closet. The most rational solution would be to install a cabinet in the corridor. You can independently develop a cabinet layout for several bicycles. Specialized stores offer ready-made furniture of a convenient design for sports equipment. Furniture can be made in the form of a folding screen, wooden or aluminum frames. Below are shelves or drawers for storing tools and accessories. The cabinet is installed along the wall, economically using space. There is no need to lift the bike vertically. The option is beautiful and functional, but not suitable for everyone.
  • Frame mount with built-in storage. This option allows you to use every centimeter of space. Due to the configuration features, the bike hooks are quite long and the resulting space between the bike and the wall can be used to install a shelf or stand. Here you can store bicycle gloves, a lantern, a lock and other accessories.
  • Wheel fixture. Vertical storage perpendicular to the wall is suitable for long narrow corridors, when the mount is mounted on a short wall so that the bike will hang in the corner along the long wall. The design is minimalistic and does not attract much attention. When installing yourself, you must carefully consider the fastening of the dowel or self-tapping screw. A constant heavy load can lead to unexpected consequences - the fall of the transport.
  • Under the ceiling. An unconventional way that is suitable for long-term storage. The fixing system is not easy to install, but reliable.
  • On the counter. Racks are made of metal tubes. The mounting option is convenient for storing two or three bicycles. Racks take up a lot of space, so they are suitable for corridors with a large area.
  • Behind the door. With the help of mounts, the bike can be hung on the door, which is infrequently used. The closet door will do.
  • Specialty stores offer a variety of shelf options, with which it is easy to hang the bike on the wall. By decorating the shelf with decorative elements, you can get an attractive design that will decorate the corridor. The upper part of the shelf is used in different ways - for books, flowers, small details. It is not difficult to make a shelf yourself.
  • Downstairs by the door. Assumes long-term storage in apartments, where possible.
  • On the floor. On sale there are convenient racks that, after fastening, rotate 180 degrees. Transport can be fixed at any angle to the wall. When the bike is located along the wall, the rack will also be a reliable fixer.

Bicycle storage on the balcony and loggia

The open balcony is only suitable for summer bike maintenance. Manufacturers do not recommend storing bicycles at indoor temperatures below freezing. Temperature changes, rain, snow, fog adversely affect the condition of metal, paint, plastic, hydraulics. Even covering the transport with plastic wrap, it is difficult to avoid corrosion. Temperature differences cause condensation to form.

An insulated closed balcony is the most suitable place to keep a bicycle in an apartment at any time of the year. It is most convenient to place folding bicycles on the balcony. They take up minimal space. When folded, the design is easy to transfer from the front door to the balcony. The bike can be hung on special brackets from the ceiling, mounted vertically on the wall, two bikes can be placed compactly on the ceiling of a small balcony or loggia. Direct sunlight should be avoided - plastic and rubber can crack, paint peels off, protective varnish deteriorates.

For the winter it is necessary to preserve transport:

  • clean from dirt and dust;
  • remove old grease;
  • re-lubricate the gear shifters, chain, brakes, hinges;
  • wipe metal surfaces thoroughly with an oiled cloth;
  • loosen the shock absorber springs, cables;
  • the cameras should be lowered a little if the vehicle is hanging, if it is standing - periodically, if necessary, pump up;
  • lubricate the tires with protective silicone - this will protect them from drying out.

Types of fasteners (video)

In a small city room, often the only solution is a two-wheeler bracket. The basic principle of transport placement is that if it is not used for a short time, it should not take up space. Most placement methods boil down to the fact that the mechanism should be raised and secured. The type of fastening depends on the type of bracket.

  • The main method of fastening is wall-mounted on the frame. You can buy a frame or make your own. You can install it in a convenient place on the balcony or in the corridor. An additional plus is that more than one bike can be hung on this type of bracket. This installation option is widely used in apartments that are not overloaded with furniture. In horizontal industrial production systems, the bicycle hanger can be attached to the rail system. The system folds up when not in use. This method may not be entirely suitable for accommodating models with complex frame geometry or full-suspension bicycles.
  • Hangers for vertical storage.
  • Ceiling mount. Quite a complex system using cables, hanging blocks and hooks for fastening. After fixing under the ceiling, the transport does not occupy the free space of the room. The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of installation and high cost.
  • Bicycle hooks. The most common mounting option. The method requires minimal effort. It is enough to purchase the necessary equipment. The design of the hooks is very different: some are screwed in like screws, others are welded onto a common base that can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. Hook fastening can be horizontal or vertical. Among the hooks for vertical fastening, Da Vinci presents an interesting solution. The upper part of the mount is the hook itself, the lower part is a stand for the rear wheel so as not to stain the wall.

In most cases, special fixtures and stands are offered by online stores, but some of them can be made independently. For example, Esse produces specially designed hooks, suspensions and mechanisms that allow you to store two-wheeled vehicles vertically or horizontally, fixed to the floor, on the wall or suspended from the ceiling.

When designing fasteners on your own, you need to expect that it must withstand the weight of the vehicle plus 5 kg, for an adult model at least 20 kg. For ease of assembly, it is necessary to mount the mounts so that at least 15 cm remain from the wheels to the floor. You can purchase special waterproof shoe covers for wheels that will protect the apartment from street dirt. The bike does not have to be carried in your hands to the balcony - the covers do not impede its movement.

Modern industrial fastening models have an attractive design and can become part of the interior decor of an apartment.

Ideas for storing a bicycle in an apartment

One of the warmest memories of our childhood is how dad teaches us to ride a bike and the feeling when looking back, we realized that we were eating on our own, without his help. In the last few years, against the backdrop of the desire to pedal among many, the cycling theme has increasingly begun to appear in the projects of modern designers.

In addition to the stable rise in fuel prices, the second important incentive is taking care of your health. After all, the problem of excess weight is now probably the most relevant among people over the age of 25 years.

Let's move on to the topic of storing a bicycle in an apartment and we have selected for you 25 interesting solutions for including a bicycle in an apartment design.

Bike storage on the wall

Obviously, the most popular storage solution is the bike racks found outside supermarkets, for example. But for an apartment, this option is not suitable, due to the too large occupied area.

The most optimal idea for placing a bicycle in the interior of a city apartment today is the use of wall mounts. But in this article, we want to show you how you can use the simple hanging hooks option to apply to your room design.

Speaking about the conformity of the appearance of the bike, the design of the room, you should first of all take care of the aesthetics, and then, about the functionality. The best starting point is the color scheme of the apartment or room.

The second option, the cardinal opposite of the previous one, while you place a bike that visually stands out from the general background. In this case, the two-wheeled object becomes the focal point of the room.

When choosing a place to store a bicycle, you should not limit yourself to any particular room in the apartment, such as a hallway, or a balcony. A creative approach in this matter allows you to consider the option of placement in any room of the apartment: living room, bedroom, kitchen.

If you are a sports family and like to ride bikes with the whole family on weekends out of town, the number of means of transportation is directly proportional to the number of family members. In this case, you can not do without a creative approach to finding ideas and places to store.

In addition to wall mounts and bike racks, you may need to use the vertical space of the apartment, of course, provided that the ceilings are high enough.

In the bedroom for a boy, a bicycle hanging on the wall will look very organic and will not only fill the empty space, but also add playfulness to the room.

In addition to the functional models that you use every day, you can decorate the interior of any room with vintage models of bicycles, as in this case the children's model of 1958, which serves as a noticeable decor in a modern country house living room.

If you are a huge fan of bicycles, but you do not want to mount it on the wall or ceiling, it remains to use paintings and posters depicting rare specimens. Whichever way you end up choosing from 25 ideas for storing a bicycle in an apartment, we hope that our article helped you with this.

Bicycle storage in the apartment photo

Fans of a healthy and active lifestyle who love to ride a bike or use this vehicle for commuting are familiar with the issue of its storage. It's one thing when a cyclist lives in a private house, having the opportunity to place a two-wheeled "iron horse" in the yard, in a garage or in an outbuilding. However, what should residents of apartment buildings do in such a situation? How to find a place for a bicycle in a small apartment?

Choosing a storage location

All available bike storage options in the apartment are presented in the video review:

The most suitable place to store a bicycle in an apartment is considered to be a balcony. The most daring cyclists often hang a two-wheeler on a hook behind a balcony, thereby saving space. However, when choosing a similar storage method, get ready for the fact that the bike will constantly be influenced by precipitation, air temperature changes and other “whims” of nature, which will certainly have a negative impact on its appearance.

If your apartment does not have a balcony or it is already used for other purposes, the hallway will be the best place to store the bike. Every time you return home from a bike ride, you will not need to carry your bike through the entire apartment. You can attach it with the help of special devices, which are also sold in bike shops. It is considered acceptable to consider both horizontal and vertical positions, the choice of which depends on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe corridor and the availability of free space in it.

In some apartments, a roomy niche is formed behind the door, which can also be used to store the bike. If you are not a fan of winter cycling, store the bike in your small apartment unassembled, placing it in the cold season, for example, in a closet or under your bed.

A short video instruction for storing a bike for the winter:

You can also hang the bike on the wall or mount it firmly under the ceiling.

How to fix the bike on the wall?

To securely fix the two-wheeler to the wall, use a sturdy mount purchased from a specialist store or made by hand. We are talking about the following types of fasteners:

  1. Hooks
  2. Shelves
  3. Racks
  4. brackets

Hooks are one of the most affordable options for securing a bike. Instead of hooks, you can also use the old steering wheel from the "road" or other improvised means. Shelves are considered to be the most aesthetic way to place a bicycle in an apartment. They can provide for the presence of both a fairly simple design and be multifunctional, allowing you to conveniently place and store additional things, for example, bicycle accessories. Wall mounting can be done by hand or purchased ready-made. As for the racks, they are usually installed with support on the floor and mounted on the wall. Such devices often provide for the presence of additional hooks on which you can place:

  • helmet;
  • jacket
  • spare parts;
  • bicycle accessories.

Alternative ways to store your bike

Many cyclists, in order to conveniently place their own bike in an apartment, are often forced to show imagination to develop experimental devices. Their role may be:

  • hooks on the ceiling - this method is distinguished by its simplicity, reliability and low cost;
  • fasteners installed on the door or door jamb;
  • mechanisms that fix the steering wheel or saddle;
  • ordinary repair holders;
  • pedal mount.

The most famous manufacturers of brackets

The popular brands under which high-quality and reliable brackets are produced include:

  • English brand Cyclos, offering a wide range of products;
  • Knife & Saw, which produces a variety of designer wood products;
  • American company RAD Cycle Products, which manufactures bicycle racks at a professional level. The assortment range of the company includes both fairly simple mechanisms and complex devices;
  • Swedish brand Thule, offering high quality fasteners;
  • the South African company Cyclotech, which manufactures products in the middle price segment.

How to make a bracket with your own hands?

If you do not want to spend money on buying a finished product, you can make a bike bracket with your own hands. For a standard fixture, you will need a polyurethane sheet, electrical tape, and two corners. But for a wooden shelf, you will need to cut a hole from a standard shelf according to the size of the frame. A good option is a wheel hook. For its manufacture, improvised hardware is required. You can come up with your own device for fixing the bike on the wall or ceiling. The most important thing is that it is distinguished by its strength, safety and reliability, without causing a feeling of discomfort among the household.
