seat cover for rain?
I have a leather saddle on my commute bike,
and nowhere (under cover) at work to store it :-( I like my saddle, and would like to both keep it, and keep it in good condition. I presently use the hallowed technique of a carrier bag, tied under the seat by its handles. This works OK, but the carrier bags only last around 2-3 weeks, before the handles fall off. In any case, it's never very secure, and the bag has come off in high winds. Does any have a recommendation for a better leather-seat-rain-protector? In my mind I'm half seeing something "drawstringy" that encloses the saddle (as opposed to the carrier bag which just kind of sits there) BugBear |

Why not get an old rain coat (cogoul) and knock something up. You could also gets a re-usable cable tie and continue to use the carrier. Dave |

A carrier bag has the bonus of making your bike look tatty, thus less attractive to tea leaves. In any case, it's never very secure, and the bag has come off in high winds. No bag or pocket to put it in? Does any have a recommendation for a better leather-seat-rain-protector? Shower cap. ~PB |

I scribbled:

Shower cap. ~PB I have a supply of the freebie shower caps from various hotels stayed in over the years. Work great as saddle cover. And as a multitude of uses too. I feel a book coming on..
