Cheap bike dust cover.

Post by Strika »

I was hunting around for another old sheet at home the other day to use as a dust cover while the race bike is stored. Didn't want to buy a cover as it is stored inside, just something to keep the dust off. Anyhow, the bride had done a little spring cleaning and given away all the old stuff to St Vinnies. While at the local corner supermarket I tripped over a neat and cheap little fix.

Cloth backed plastic picnic table cloth! $2.00 and works a treat! :D

My bike cover and it cost nothing. Not quite true ... it cost a couple of slabs and some serious Panadol recovery time after we liberated it from a local town hall.

I was younger and a lot sillier .... and in uniform back then

The cops get a little grumpy seeing and hearing a full blown race bike howl along the streets at night with no lights, indicators or mirrors. They might take my number! :lol:
