Storing Road Bike inside car trunk, is it a problem for mechanics/tyres?

Every morning, I don't know which sport I'll train on during the day.

It depends on working casualties.

So I always keep inside my trunk my swimming bag, and a backpack containing Run and Bike apparels. And of course the bike laying on left side with a protective velosock wrapping it.

This happens since years and years, both summer and winter (in winter, during rain/snow periods, I leave bike materials at home).

Now I have a doubt:

Do this behavior damage the bike or any part of it?

My main thought is about summer very hot days, when the car trunk can reach high temperatures for hours. But also in winter, when during the night the trunk can reach few degrees below ice temperature.

Usually, in summer I keep the tire pressure lower than the working pressure, and I inflate them right before riding. In many years, tires have never blown up.

Chain and gear lubrication seems ok.

Frame is a full carbon steel, while wheels are aluminium and tires use inner tubes.

In my older installations of SSMS, till version 20, executing a simple "select * from table" query returned me datetime columns with local format (in Italy, now the time is shown as "05-05-2026 14:59:50.830").

After upgrading to SSMS 22, the implicit conversion executing the query is a ODBC format, and the same time as above is shown as "2026-05-05 14:59:50.830".

This could be a minor problem, but everyday I have to extract some quick and raw data for various colleagues, and the fastest way to do this is executing "select * from table where <conditions>". And then I have to copy&paste this data into Excel.

Now the problem is that excel understands that a value is a date/time, and pastes it in a proper way, if it is formatted in the local format. If I paste "2026-05-05 14:59:50.830", excel inserts a raw text column, very difficult to use inside calculations.

I know that I should explicitly list every column, instead of "*", and explicitly use CONVERT or FORMAT functions for every column I want to later paste into excel.

But this will be a huge waste of time, because datetime columns are very common inside our databases, that manage events regarding logistic orders, handling, and so on, so even a simple table can contain 10-20 datetime columns.

I tried every settings in SSMS regarding query result pane and localization format, but I didn't find any way.

How can I obtain local (or customized) format in the result grid of SSMS, for each datetime column, without explicitly converting each column?
