I used to keep my bike outside and it went a couple of years with no maintenance to speak of. Maybe some tyre pumping. As long as the bikes are not vandalised / stolen / chucked in canals etc I think the economics could work.

In what climate? Having lived in UK, Germany and the US East Coast with rain and snow, it would not have worked for me and bikes that are used a lot by people who are not careful.
