waterproof bike cover

I am looking for a waterproof fabric bike cover to put on my bike when it is on my hitch rack while traveling. I am having a hard time finding such a thing. Anyone have some direction for me?

Thanks,

You might also check into motorcycle covers- perhaps more common.

More common than a tarpaulin? I beg to differ.

Try this. 20 bucks, but it's made pretty well and I use them on all my bikes. I'm not sure how well they'll stand up at 60 mph, but for 20 bucks it's worth the try.

I meant more common than a bike covering.

Why do you want to cover it?

The flapping parts of it might damage the finish of the bike. And if that's not a concern there's a possibility of it coming off and either getting caught on a car behind you or littering the environment.
