Bike cover

Just ordered a couple of bikes. Saw a WWB type unit with an arched bike tidy/tent at the back. But at 167cm high this would obscure most of the Eriba's back window. Any suggestions, please, for suitable bike coverups for on site use.

We carry two folding bikes in bags inside the caravan and use a tarpaulin designed to cover garden furniture to protect them when on site.

I chain the bikes to the drawbar and then fasten the tarpaulin over them with bungee cords. I usually fold the handlebars down to reduce the height but this is not essential.

Presumably you have your non-folding bikes on a rear carrier so this may not be appropriate but you could always demount them when on site if an uninterrupted rear view is required.

They are folding bikes! So the tarpaulin idea seems good. Good to know they will fit inside the 'van.

Both my folding Brompton bikes fit in the boot of the car out of view which is where they will stay during the holidays. If they ever stay in the awning they are covered up and locked with a cycle cable alarm to the van.
