Bike Cover -- Which one is best
I recently purchased the Swagman Bike Cover from Camping World because it was an enclosed bag with zipper to keep the newly purchased Electra Townie bicycles ($500/bike) that I wanted to keep clean and dry. However, after my first 180 miles and a little rain, I have determined that this bike cover is NOT waterproof, but more of a water absorber.
Therefore, I would like to know what others are doing to carry their bikes. If you use a cover, what kind, where did you get it and does it work to keep the bicycles clean and dry (during rain storms).
I'm looking for what RVers are doing, since we tend to leave our bikes outside a little more than weekend S&B people.
For example:
I carry my bikes on the toad via a hitch bike rack with a rail system. Currently using the Swagman bike cover and it doesn't work…very wet and absorbs water (pooling in the bottom of the bag) when it rains.
THANK YOU!
