My garage sits on a very thick slab of concrete which acts as a heat/cold sink.
On average days with normal humidity, the bikes are fine in the garage, but when a southern warm front sweeps in with high humidity the cold slab generates all kinds of condensation on the cold bikes and on the floor.
My solution was to buy an industrial sized fan (24" or so) and hook it to a timer to blow air over the bikes at low speed. The constant movement of air doesn't allow the moisture to settle.
I keep my eye on the weather and only use it when we have humid weather days.
And yes, I always store the bikes after a ride with a full gas tank.
