I pedal to a bus 'stop' (actually a pick up point for a chartered bus). I lock my bike to a pole and cover it with a bike tarp. Today it was raining and blowing. I locked and covered the bike, leaning it against the prevailing winds so it would not fall over. When I got back this evening I see that the winds had changed, knocked the bike over and blew the cover mostly off. The bike was soaked.

I have to find a better place to lock the bike up and I have to sew more velcro closures on the bottom of the cover so it does not act like a parachute.
