Hitch Bike Rack Covers?

[3LMBBQ]

Anyone have experience with covers for their bikes? (like below) Always had a pickup so just threw the bikes back there and didn't have to worry about all the junk kicked up while driving. This is now an issue, especially on trips to Moab through the Rockies. Have a yakima hanging bike rack. TIA.

Following - I'm interested in this as well! My concern would be something that was flapping around in the wind for a long drive making contact with the carbon bike frame and wearing/scratching it.

It wasn't good for me when I tried. The biggest danger is that the cover will hide your brake lights and block your rear view. I tried and it was a no go for me at least with the cover I had. Your best best is to get your bike frame wrapped with some sort of protection. It will of course benefit your bike as you ride from rocks and stuff.

I have the Pro Bike Tool cover. The link is for a 3 bike but they come in different sizes. Seems to be well made and is used a lot by RVers (like myself) Lots of straps for tightening (good and bad since you really need to use them to prevent flapping) and holes with grommets for cable locks. Very reasonably priced. Be careful to get the one for 'Travel', they give you a choice between storage and travel.
