I do…especially when I am in the “upgrade” mode …new aero bars …cranks…wheels…etc…
Oh yeah. In my case it is out on the sales floor where my bikes are parked. I do that with customer’s bikes too before they pick them up. I am constantly tinkering and trying to supe the stuff up.
What garage, I keep em inside where they can be regularly ogled.

Who keeps their bikes in the garage? I keep mine in the rec room since my wife let me keep it in the bedroom.

You have the advantage…ALL of the cool stuff!..
Mine sits on my CT and continually calls out like Poe’s Tell Tale Heart. I can’t get away from it, not that I want to!!
My garage is a climate controllled car/bike shrine place…my wife would NEVER agree to bikes in the living room…
Sadly, one of mine is stuck in the garage. Luckily for the other two, they fit in my room. Living at home with 'rents has it’s pro’s and con’s. I think this one falls under the cons
no i wonder out to the garage to see that my stupid car still isn’t done.

Don’t kid yourself My Friend, that is a big part of the reason I got into this business. I really do love this stuff.
When my friend Michael R. Rabe was still alive he and I would spend hours in here perfecting a cyclocross brake set-up (Rabe was the king at that) or trying to get an exact mirror-image handlebar tape job. We would adjust bottom brackets to perfection, finish the ends of cable housings so they looking like jewelry and cut steer tubes like they were done with a laser. You could eat off the bottom bracket threads we chased and cleaned.
There were times when Rabe and I would walk out of here at 3:00 A.M. after a full day in the store, then do it all over again the next day.
Once you have the passion it is terminal.
Does anyone just sort of cruise out to the garage to just look at the bike?
What on earth for? The P3 sits in the foyer, year round. The Cilo is usually on the trainer in the family room, but is known to get hung up in the garage from time to time.
The garage is for the old bikes, the mountain bike, the bike work stand, the bike tool box, the bike parts storage container, the bike cleaning equipment, the bike pumps, old bike tires and old running shoes. There is also a ton of other old stuff in there, including a couple of cars.
Mine are on display in the living room, no need to go to the garage, if I had a garage.
sniff sore subject sniff. I have been told that mine is not rideable. My baby! I feel like I lost a friend…

NO !

No, mine are in my bedroom.
I keep boxes of campag parts beside my bed for emergency bike fever satiation. I spend a lot of time looking at my bikes and giving them little touch ups. It’s impossible to not have a bike in your field of vision in the garage.
Like Tom says, once you really have the passion no measure is too great to get things perfect.
Does the Pope love nuts?
Ha Ha…I have my pretty LiteSpeed in my workout room, my QR in my rec room, Basso and Mtn Bike in basement workshop/bicycle room.
My old-ass Jamis Mtb and my tandem are outside in the cold.
Well considering I live in a garage and my bikes hang above my bed, I’m pretty much looking at them lots! 
Mine have their own room. But my MTB is the garage, ready to ride with lights tomorrow morning…YEAH
