If you must store bikes in a basement (I do and worse) a dehumidifier really helps. Setting it up to drain is sort of a must. If you are a scavenger, about 75 percent of all dehumidifiers you see out on the curb are still functional. They may not be energy efficient though compared with a new one.
Still working on the seat mold tests, which tells you how bad some of my problems are.
