So I recently moved from St. Louis to Denver, and I am currently renting a down town apartment until I learn the area enough to buy a place with a garage. Until then my bike is going to be sitting in a parking garage. I need to buy a nice bike cover, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions. My biggest worry is the cover flying off while i'm not around. I need something that will stay on the bike if it ever got windy. I travel for work for weeks at a time, and I don't want to come back from a tour and have by bike cover either on the other side of the garage or blown away. Thanks for any info.

I don't have one but after a lot of research, I think I'm going to go for one.

 

I got my cover at Wal-Mart for $20-25. It has some clips to hold it on but if it gets windy, I just put a bag of dirt on the seat.

 

Sometimes in real windy conditions it's better for the cover to leave the bike instead of the cover taking the bike with it.

Couple years ago I watched a guy carefully cover his bike tying down the cover at several points. While it wasn't all the windy when he put it on, a storm was coming...guess that's why he covered and tied it down so well.

Sadly, the cover acted just like a sail and over the bike went.

 

if it is a bagger, take your bags off before you leave it for ANY length of time or get the Bruckus ( spelling) hardware kits, it won't stop a determined thief but it might save your bags... as for the cover I'll let others answer the question, sorry to take the thread off topic

 

This is what I would be worried about. I would make friends with someone that has a garage that would let you park your bike there until you get a place with a garage.
