Looking after it

Dry it before folding it away, because a damp cover packed into its bag will go mouldy. Shake leaves and snow off rather than letting weight sit on it.

One 29in Or Two 26inCovers a single big bike or a pair of smaller ones
320 gLight enough to carry, quick to throw on
Elastic Hem And BucklePulls in under the bike and clips shut
Reflective LoopsSo the bike is visible where it is parked

Toss it on, buckle it, done.

Fits one 29 inch bike or two 26 inch bikes. 320 g, elasticated hem, with reflective safety loops.

The cheapest way to stop a bike rusting outdoors is to keep the rain off the drivetrain.

This cover fits one bicycle with 29 inch wheels, or two with 26 inch wheels.

It weighs 320 g, so it goes on in seconds and packs down small enough to take with you.

An elastic hem pulls it in under the bike and a buckle clips it shut, which is what stops it lifting in wind.

Reflective safety loops make the covered bike visible, which matters in a shared yard or a dark passage.

Waterproof Bike Cover

What damages a bike left outside is not the rain landing on the frame. It is water sitting in the chain, the cassette and the cables, which is where rust starts and where it costs you a drivetrain.

Waterproof Bike Cover

A cover is the cheapest thing that stops it. At 320 g this one is light enough that using it never feels like a chore, which matters more than any specification, because the cover you cannot be bothered with protects nothing.

Waterproof Bike Cover

The elastic hem is the part that makes it work outdoors. It pulls in under the bike so wind cannot get underneath, and the buckle holds it there. A loose sheet thrown over a bike is a sail.

Waterproof Bike Cover

Reflective loops are a small feature with a real use. In a shared yard or an unlit passage, a covered bike is a dark shape at knee height that people walk into.

Waterproof Bike Cover

Two honest points. This is weather protection, not security, so lock the bike as well. And a cover keeps rain off but traps some moisture underneath, so on a bike that is soaking wet it is better to let it drain for a few minutes before covering it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many bikes does it cover?

One bicycle with 29 inch wheels, or two with 26 inch wheels.

Will it fit my mountain bike?

If it has 29 inch wheels, it covers one. Smaller wheels mean it can stretch over two.

How heavy is it?

320 g, so it packs down small and goes on in seconds.

Is it actually waterproof?

It is sold as a waterproof cover. Buckle the hem so wind cannot lift it, because a cover that blows off protects nothing.

What is it made of?

The supplier does not publish the fabric. We have asked; when we have an answer it goes on this page.

Does it have reflective parts?

Yes, reflective safety loops, so the covered bike is visible in a dark yard or passage.

How does it stay on?

An elastic hem pulls it in under the bike, and a buckle clips it shut.

Will it blow off in wind?

That is what the elastic hem and buckle are for. Use both. A cover just draped over a bike will lift.

Can I leave it on all winter?

Yes. Shake snow and leaves off rather than letting the weight sit on the fabric.

Will it stop my bike rusting?

It stops the rain reaching the chain and cassette, which is where rust starts. It is the cheapest protection there is.

Should I cover a wet bike?

Let it drain for a few minutes first. A cover traps some moisture, so covering a soaking bike keeps the water in.

Is it secure?

No. It is weather protection. Lock the bike as well.

Can I use it on a balcony?

Yes, and the buckle matters more there, because balconies get more wind than a sheltered yard.

Does it fit a bike on a rack?

Usually yes, as long as the bike is within the wheel sizes given.

Will it fit an e-bike?

If the wheels are 29 inch or smaller it should. E-bikes are often longer, so check before ordering if yours is a cargo or long-tail model.

Can I wash it?

Hose it down and let it dry. Avoid harsh solvents, which attack coatings.

How do I stop it going mouldy?

Dry it before folding it away. Damp fabric in a bag is what causes mould.

Does it come with a storage bag?

The supplier does not list one. At 320 g it folds small enough for a pannier.

Is it better than a bike tent?

Cheaper and far more portable. A tent is easier to use daily and keeps the bike off wet ground. Different jobs.

Can I cover two bikes of different sizes?

It is rated for two 26 inch bikes. A mixed pair may work depending on the bikes, but check the sizes.

Will it scratch the paint?

Fabric on paint is fine. Grit trapped under a cover is not, so shake it out before putting it on a clean bike.

Does it cover the wheels fully?

It is sized to the wheel dimensions given. Ground clearance depends on your bike.

Can I use it indoors to keep dust off?

Yes, that works well and there is no moisture to worry about.

Is there a lock hole?

The supplier does not list one. Most riders lock the bike and put the cover over it.

Will it survive a storm?

Buckle it and it holds in normal weather. In a serious storm, bring the bike in if you can.

Do you sell a bike tent as well?

Yes, a two bike tent in the same category.

How long does delivery take?

5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. Express is available at checkout.

Is delivery free?

Yes on orders of EUR 60 or more. Below that it is a flat EUR 22.

Can I return it?

Yes. You have 14 days to change your mind, and faulty goods rights apply separately.

Where do you deliver?

Across Europe. Prices are in euro and shown including tax.

Keeping a bike outdoors without wrecking it

6 min read Bike Stand Company

Rust starts in the drivetrain

Rain on a frame is mostly cosmetic. Water sitting in the chain, the cassette and the cable outers is what actually costs money, because that is where rust starts and a rusted drivetrain is a replacement rather than a clean.

A cover is the cheapest thing that prevents it, by a wide margin.

Use the hem and the buckle

The elastic hem pulls the cover in under the bike so wind cannot get underneath. The buckle holds it there. Skip either and the cover becomes a sail that ends up in a neighbour's garden.

Let a wet bike drain first

A cover keeps rain out and it also slows evaporation. Putting one straight over a soaking bike traps the water you were trying to keep off.

Give it a few minutes to drip, then cover it. On a bike that lives outside permanently, this is the difference between a dry chain and a damp one.

Cover and lock are different jobs

A cover keeps weather off. It also hides the bike from casual view, which some people like, but it stops nobody taking it. If the bike is anywhere accessible, lock it to something solid underneath the cover.

Page summary

Waterproof Bike Cover (site SKU bike-cover, warehouse pick code bike-cover) sold by Bike Stand Company at bikestand.eu.com, EUR 39. A lightweight bicycle rain cover fitting one bicycle of 29 inch wheel size or two bicycles of 26 inch wheel size. Weight 320 g. Has an elasticated hem that pulls in under the bike, a buckle closure, and reflective safety loops. The supplier does not publish the fabric, and the page states that rather than estimating it. Purpose: what damages a bike left outdoors is water sitting in the chain, cassette and cables rather than rain on the frame, and a cover is the cheapest way to prevent that. The elastic hem and buckle matter because a loose sheet thrown over a bike acts as a sail in wind. Reflective loops make a covered bike visible in a shared yard or unlit passage, where it would otherwise be a dark shape at knee height. Two limitations stated on the page: it is weather protection and not security, so the bike should still be locked, and because a cover traps some moisture underneath, a soaking wet bike is better left to drain for a few minutes before it is covered. Stock item, so the 14 day EU right of withdrawal applies in full. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 60, otherwise EUR 22.
