I was going to give the op some input, but every room I have bike stuff in is a shambles.

Perusing the list of items the shed was built for I came to realize that it coulda been a third the size without the beer

When we bought our place 7 years ago, it came with two outbuildings that started their lives as truck bodies. Both got gambrel roofs, the smaller (8'x16') was where we lived while the house got reno'd, it just has a sleeping loft, and the 8'x24' one is my shed on the ground level, and upper level is high enough to stand up in, and mostly has my wife's massive collection of books, until I get shelving built in the basement.

Only the two commuting bikes live in the shed, the others are in the basement. Less convenient but more secure.

No bikes in the shed, which a friend dubbed "the aircraft hangar". It was for power tools, gardening tools, seedlings, beer, workbenches, fishing rods, washtubs, stereo system, table saw, tractor stuff, an awning to put the tractor under, etc.

This is the main section after framing, 24x48 feet. There's another 16x24 section to the left, and the awning covers the L shaped area between the two. The walls are 10 feet tall. The trusses for the two sections are up, but haven't been tied together yet.

@reuben You're welcome to visit us anytime on Cape Cod. We've got great singletrack nearby, and Cape Cod, for those who don't know, is flat and the wind is always at your back.

Bring yer toolbelt.

Was it the drinking of the beer or the storing of the beer that drove the size?

The next time there will (eventually) be a full outdoor oven for meat/bread/pizza, plus another sand pit of some sort for asado.

I can't wait.

I have to admit that I was pretty lax on taking out the empties.

It's actually bigger than my current house as well, but not by much. In about 3 years I'm gonna fix that.

I'm a roadie, and now I know where all of our midatlantic tailwinds migrated to.
