Lightweight (portable) rain covers

[allen-uk]

Never bothered me much pre-electric, but now when I leave my bike (plus multiple locks) for half an hour, I'm more interested in keeping it drier.

I've got a nice big Oxford cover which I occasionally use outside my flat, but it's big and bulky and a nuisance to cart around.

Anyone come across a fairly large but lightweight and easily stuffable cover? Hasn't got to be a portable garage - just to cover the bars, saddle, and hopefully the motor/gear area.

Thanks.


Allen.

I've got the Topeak Bike Cover which folds down into its own integrated zippable wallet. It's amazing how small it goes. The only down-side is that on windy days it has blown off my bike but I put that down to the fact that I chain it to a railing and then put the cover on and I think that allows too much wind in.

One other thing. My MTB electric bike has a normal wheelbase and the cover fits perfectly. If you've got an electric bike where the battery extends the wheelbase then this cover won't be big enough.

I Have a cover from Argos it cost me £14.99 and fastens underneath with velcro, also packs into its own samll carry case.

My local Tesco has a bike cover which fits a bike up to 192cm long. It comes in a small packet I can't remember the price but it was about £5 or so.
