Which bike cover ?
« on: April 28, 2026, 08:45:10 PM »
I know the topic has been discussed before, I'm going to have my Superdream rolling frame in the garden under a Gazebo for a couple of months whilst I paint the engine. I'm looking for a suitable waterproof cover.

My existing bike covers both leave the bottom of the wheels exposed, is this normal for most bike covers?

Ideally I need a cover that will extend right down to the ground.

I've long settled for the Neverland covers, they cover everything and they don't cost much either, that means they are less vulnerable to theft. I don't know if it was scooter kids or the homeless who nicked a few off me!  ;D
