If you think you are somehow championing any principles of individual liberty,
stop thinking this - you are not.

As much as I hate blanket rules, and I firmly disagree that "reason is
immaterial", in this particular case (and as in previous cases) you do not seem
to have any significantly special reason to override the general principle of
not storing bikes in the space.

Anyone can apply the same reasoning as you are doing to justify this action;
but if everyone did so the hackspace would be non-functional.
