Recommendation for a weatherproof bicycle cover

[marshmella]

Hi guys, my daughter will be taking her bike down to her new lodgings in Surrey next month,the problem being is she will have to leave it in the garden. Any suggestions for a decent good fitting cover?The bike is a fairly inexpesive 26 inch wheel mtb. Thanks.

I used the Halfords one whilst on holiday. It has a velcro strap underneath but because I'd locked the bike to railings it didn't quite reach. So I used a bungee from 1 pedal up and over to the other. Stopped the cover lifting up in the wind as well.
It kept the bike dry.

Go to a local bed shop. Ask them for a couple of discarded plastic bags that mattresses come in. Double matters should suffice. 100% waterproof, and they'll be only too glad to get shot of a few.

I've got a couple of bikeparkas which are pretty good. They're elasticated round the bottom with a drawstring to snug them up and the 'urban' version even has a velcro slot to fit a lock through.
