Default Bike Cover - which one?

Need a cover for the bike going forward and was wondering if people have any recommendations?

I've got one you can have if you want...assuming it fits. It's just sitting there doing nowt (I will have to dig it out) it'll at least see you right for a bit...pop up to see if it fits or I could take it to work and you could bob over at lunch or something (Next to North Manchester Hosp)

Moved to Bike Talk.

We had an Oxford Stormex that seemd to do the job OK, but dont let the inside of it touch wet ground as it sucks up water and turns into a massive sponge...

Aye, they do an excellent job. The Zs been under one for the second winter, and apart from the sponge thing, and it fading in the sun, its still doing its job very well.


Anyway, being a sponge at the bottom has its uses, mainly stops it blowing away in a gale
