Bike cover for transporting them

[capricapers]

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a durable, waterproof bike cover for two road bikes. It’s to go on two bikes that will be transported on a rear-mounted Thule bike rack from the UK to Portugal in winter. We expect heavy rain and potentially snow en route. Thank you.

How about a couple of lightweight motorbike covers. You would need to wrap them up with a few metres of knicker elastic. It works much better than string.

Check out Mantle covers, via Amazon. Single, double, triple available.

Tesco used to sell them. Bought mine years ago, so not sure they still sell them. You need to cinch them somehow at the bottom to prevent spray from the back wheels soaking the bottom of the bike.

The Mantle covers have a clasp underneath.

Look for 3 bike Oxford cover (silver & black) on fleabay. Elasticated bottom + adjustable straps.
(The 2 bike version is too small)

Thanks - I know they are good looking covers but not sure how waterproof they are. Will check them out further.
