Gonna think twice before parking up next to a covered bike though.

Mine's gone over twice now, but luckily never any damage. Now I use a bungee cord from the sidestand right over the rider seat and back onto the sidestand again, makes it nice and tight and stays upright.

never had a problem with bikes covered in high winds, and its bloody windy living on the top of a hill. The bike parked in the back at the moment has been sat in all weathers and all strengths of wind and hasn't budged an inch. Mainly because the cover is tied down properly and its been parked with the conifers as a windbreaker.
