This is an admirable prodect. It fits a road bike very well without excess fabric. It really does fold up into its attached pocket without much fuss. For most purposes, it would rate 5 stars. I gave it 4 only because it lacks a strap to make it perfect for my use, which is protection on the deck of a ferry on salt water. The conditions on the ferry are pretty cruel for a bike, what with all the salt spray. On some of the ferries, the bikes are upright on the deck as in my picture; on others they hang by their front wheel, with the undersides facing outward rather than toward the wall. That's when I wish there were a strap to snap or velcro the gap shut. This cover keeps off most of the spray and reduces damage. Some spray still manages to reach the bike--maybe 15% of what used to get on it, depending on the weather, the chop, and the type of rack. Two fellow ferry bikers have told me not to expect a cover to actually save my bike from needing frequent rinsing off and oiling, and both of them ended up getting junky bikes for their commute because of that problem. So basically I am describing a bigger challenge than this cover would usually face. For keeping dust off a bike in a garage, it would be more than adequate. I wish I had had one of these when I used to keep a bike parked outside! Update: I was using a clothespin the secure the sides under the bike, but yesterday I couldn't find the clothespin, and when I went to retrieve my bike, the cover was gone. It was a breezy day on the San Francisco Bay. I can report that the cover held up well through several months of daily abuse and that I was able to fold it up each time and zip it into its pocket, twice a day. Ordering another. This time, I will sew on a Velcro strap.Read full review
