Classifieds / Wanted: bike rack cover

« on: December 07, 2007, 11:18:19 am »

Looking to transport 2 bikes in the next couple of weeks through snow, ice and rain.  Recomendations for a bike cover.  I have a Yakima 4 place rack/trailer hitch. Want both bikes fully covered and it will be on an car, not RV.
Thanks, BB

General Discussion / dangerous winds

Wind has become my biggest fear on the bike.  Coming down a 8% hill from work and out of know where came a crosswind gust that took me right into the path of a car coming up from behind.  No idea of actual speed of the gust but 15 - 20.......maybe.  The day was without wind prior to that little moment!! I was around 40 mph at the time and I've never been quite the same since on the bike.  I don't stop riding because of wind but my choice of roads and speeds have been adjusted accordingly
