Recommend a cover?
#1

I need an outdoor cover. Care to make a recommendation? Unfortunately this is the type of product that seems to be made and sold by everyone & their brother. Tough to choose when there are unlimited options. I am looking for something high-quality for spring, summer, and fall use.

I've always just grabbed a generic one from Amazon for multiple kinds of bikes.

I've probably had 8 or 9 covers over the years as they wear out. None seem to last more then the others no matter the price honestly. The UV and wind seem to be the enemy.

I think the best UV-resistant bike covers are the ones that are not water-resistant. Undecided
