I keep my bikes in the cellar which is a bit damp and I've noticed my road bike is developing spots of mildew on the bar tape.
anyone any ideas how to reduce or stop this?
thanks

Wipe down with a solution of a few drops of Tea Tree oil in 400-500ml of water.
But ideally I would get the bikes out of there.

You'll be wanting a fungicide. Mildew's a fungus, not a bacteria.
