BikeParka STASH Waterproof Bicycle Cover - ROSA Pink

When we moved house we lost our storage area, and with no space indoors we were worried about the bikes being left outdoors uncovered. In come the BikeParkas.Having used them for 9 months now (including in the heavy snow this year) I can safely say the bikes are well protected inside. No water gets in at all. In addition the Parkas don't flap about or fly off in the wind. The colour is still strong, the Parka is totally intact and looks great. We've had our neighbours and postman asking about them!The Parkas are one-size-fits-all, and our bikes are quite large - one has a 20 inch frame, the other 21 inch. I was a bit worried at first, and it took me a while to figure out the best way to get the bike in. I found that turning the handlebars 90 degrees, putting the BikeParka on, then - if you want - turning the handlebars back - got it in perfectly. Had no issues with the smaller bike.As we use these to store our bikes outside we have very heavy duty D-locks on the bikes attaching them to the fence. We use the D-locks under the BikeParkas, however there is a version with a flap for a lock to come through. For me, it wasn't worth the extra money as we rarely use the bikes, but if you were regular riders and want to lock your bike up I would check out this version.NB. Just a 'thank you' to BikeParka themselves - one day when I didn't lock my bike up it fell over in a particularly fierce gale and was blown across the driveway, scuffing the BikeParka where the pedal was. I emailed them to ask if they had a repair patch; they didn't do one, and said that a normal tent-repair patch would do, but sent me a new BikeParka free of charge anyway. Absolutely amazing customer service, from a great company selling a great product.

After spending hours browsing other people's comments for this item, I finally chose it.It is really quite difficult to place over the bike as there is elastic at each end of the cover that fits under each wheel. Whilst this actually is great for helping the cover stay on the bike I found it really difficult to manouver the cover up and over the handlebars and then drag it along to the back of the bike, it was catching on everything from peddles to the chain (got oily first time used) and then hooking it beyond my mud-guards and finally down over the back wheel.There are two eyeletsin the middle of the cover at the bottom so you could ideally secure the cover underneath both pedals, but there was nothing that came with the cover to hook through the eyelets so I got a piece of string which was a pain to thread through. Press studs would be a better idea or velcro.Then my bike fell over in the wind and the cover got 'grazed' but the small holes / grazes went through so now water will get in.I am just really unhappy as £30 is a lot of money. I could get over the palava of fitting it (although you must be careful when removing it as oil from your chain will be on the inside of the cover and it plucks and gets hooked up on things) but the quality of the actual material to graze as it has done really upset me.FOr some reason from the photo image of the cover I thought it was made more of the stuff that wetsuits are made of, I thought it was more 'stretchy' and snug fitting.Still got it on the bike as it's better than nothing but would not recommend it.However, delivery etc was all superb.

Great, truly waterproof and excellent quality product that looks like it will last. V snug fit but if bike was any bigger than ladies medium frame not sure if it would be possible to still get it over both tyres!Luckily for my bike it fits and I'm very pleased and would buy this again rather than a cheaper and inferior product- well done!

This appears to be a well made product and I was able to fit it onto my full size bike without any hassle. My only criticism is the stuff sack which the cover is supplied in and you use to store the cover. Trying to get the cover back into the sack is a hassle because the sack dimensions are a tiny bit too tight and you have to work hard at pushing it all back in. The sack could do with being just a little larger. However, I expect most users will not be storing it away in the sack on a regular basis so it is a niggle rather than being an issue.

Very well made and great value. Only gripe I have with it is there is clearly a front and back and it is not always easy to distinguish between them.

Really good quality cover with elastic bottom so won't fly away and covers large bike well. It should last many years and it not going to rip. We bought 2, one in pink and one in blue for each of our bikes.

Excellent coverage, ideal for all the torrential rain we have been having lately (June 2016).

They are great. They do exactly what it says on the tin.
