BikeParka URBAN Waterproof Bicycle Cover

Bought this after using a cheaper cover when I go away in my campa. After getting so fed up with the poor quality and baggy fit I am pleased with the BikeParka. The elasicated fit keeps it in p lace. Easy to get on even in the dark. I would definitely recommend it. Seems a bit pricey but this is quality. My only grip is an access point for a bike lock to the frame would have been a useful addition to such a quality product - my previous cheap ones have been easy to 'hole' for a lock!

This is a great bike cover - mainly because of the velcro lock through option. Normally, if you have to lock your bike to a railing the cover never fits on properly as the lock stops the cover from going all the way to the bottom which means the cover often gets blown off with the slightest gust of wind. This cover stays put, the bike is well covered and the draw string also helps to keep it on snug. More expensive than many bike covers, but worth it - the others always end up getting blown off and ripped so a false economy.

This did what I wanted it to do: cover my bike, however it is a bit of a fiddle to get on and doesn't look as neat as the image, although it is more attractive ( if a bike cover can be attractive!) than others I had considered. Overall it's pretty good - made of ripcord, which is tough material, but it did get one tear because the wind whipped up under the inside of the cover, and knocked the bike over, which is a shame - the manufactureres should supply glue and a spare patch - like tents or surf kites, because I have no way of repairing my hole efficiently. That said, I prefer it to other covers.

Fits my sons bike ok, and it would seem to be waterproof so far. However, the colour fades very quickly. Bought a green Camo one halfway through June, and its now the start of August and we have a patchy brown and green Camo one. I would not have expected this type of material, nor a product "designed" for outdoor use, to fade quite so much or so quickly. Not a huge problem I know, but still annoying. EDIT-it has now ripped. Don’t waste your money on this product

Wow such a nice bike cover!Followed the simple instructions and ensured I had the correct orientation of the cover and as suggested started to put the cover over the front wheel and simply pulled back. Had to do a few tweaks here and there, but overall it took just a few minutes to put on. I love the little toggle adjustment and the elasticity ensure you get a snug fit around the bike.I guess I will have to wait for when the weather starts deteriorating but it certainly looks a nice decent cover that will last!The only downside is the price but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

The main reason for getting the cover was to keep my bike dry. Despite being described as fully waterproof, it has not kept my bike dry during summer rain. The material gets saturated and contact points (seat and handlebars) get wet. So I don’t want to think how it will hold up in winter.It’s a shame because the fit is good (if you don’t mind 5 mins of faff), and the Velcro flap is great because it lets you cover the bike while it’s locked to a post and, I think, stops the wind blowing it off.

I highly recommend this bike cover -It is easy to take on and off, fits my ladies city bike perfectly. It feels strong and thanks to the elasticated drawstring bottom it doesn’t fly off in strong winds but stays firmly put. Useful X Velcro opening for placing lock.

Writing this review after having owned two of these bike covers.My first one was a BikeParka Urban in the camo (£32.99 in 2020), the second one was the Urban in the green (£34.95 in 2022). They are ok but do not represent great value. Both of them lasted two years. The camo faded badly in the sun, the green fared better. Both ripped in storms. They just aren't robust enough to be outside in the British weather.On looking for a replacement I see the price has gone up considerably to £44. To be honest, just save your money. I've spent a little extra this time and bought a Storm Skin and it feels much more hard wearing than these covers. I'm optimistic it will prove better value in the long run.
