If the plan relies on her not finding out, it's destined to fail. I know a number of folks who store their bikes elsewhere for a variety of reasons, including S/O's that aren't keen on bikes. But intending to keep the entire subject secret for any length of time just isn't workable.
Over the next few years, I assume that you are planning on receiving a large amount of continued assistance from your family. (room & board at a very basic level, paying for a chunk or even all of college). Only way your conscience stays clear by openly disobeying her in such a clear way iis IMO if you're willing and able to give all that up. If I were her, and found out you spent thousands on a bike behind her back, I'd certainly consider spending exactly that much less on higher ed. Heck, you had the money and flushed it from her perspective, right?
