Hi everyone,

The list of questions is growing for this newbie, but I thought I'll start with this one first.

Unfortunately I don't have a garage and the parking bay only half covers the bike next to my car. First thought was that I'll just go to one of the hardware stores, get some heavy duty plastic, and make a quick and dirty bike cover by myself. But, then I was thinking that it might actually keep the bike if not wet but at least damp after heavy rain. So I decided to ask advice from the old dogs...

Is it worth while to buy a ready made rain cover with breathable material or would DIY solution work? Also, if I should buy one from a shop, any recommendations what I should look for, where, etc..

Thanks in advance :)
