Some bicycles get rode into or through lots of deep water, other bicycles often get left out in the rain and foggy weather.

Any which way, bicycles can most definitely rust from the inside out, so are there any recommended ways to protect against the elements?

I hear you there too, but ultimately, if my age hasn't caught up with me too damn much, I do wanna get back out and ride some more one of these ~~days~~ years.

If anything though, I do want to find a replacement matching solid stainless 43 tooth chainring with the oldschool Mongoose logo, I've worn the teeth and decal on mine almost completely out, and as a result it wears chains out pretty damn fast.

I'll hang the old chainring on the wall, once I find one, but I don't think I'll be hanging the bike on the wall anytime soon. Currently, and for like the past 5 years, it sits safely next to our dining room table off to the side, so it's safe from the weather, thieves, and apparently me for now..
