761.0. "CYCLE COVER" by SUBURB::COWLEYA (ANGE) Thu Jul 07 1988 13:03

    Hi
    
    I do not have a garage or shed at home.  Does anyone know where I 
    can get a fairly cheap cover for my bike (Reading area) so that 
    I can leave it in the back garden?
      
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Have you tried the local cycle shops, such as Berkshire Cycles or
    UB Cycles? Alternatively, the Freewheel catalogue lists a cycle
    cover that looks quite good for �5.65 (you should be able to get
    it at, or through, Berkshire Cycles). Contact me if you want more
    details.

761.2Would you really leave a good bike outdoors?NOVA::FISHERKeep 'em rollin'Thu Jul 07 1988 13:288
If it will be left outdoors with a plastic cover on it, it is likely
to rust more quickly because of condensation that will form under the
cover and then not evaporate.  At least that is what I read in a book
on bike-camping that advised leaving bikes uncovered overnight.  But
overnight one night at a time could be quite different from overnight
for extended periods.

    I have no garage or shed either... leave my bike outside? No way!
    I bring it into the house. Much safer.
