Abstract: A fabric is cut, sewn, and furnished with Velcro or other hook and loop fastener portions to become a cover to be removably positioned about a drive mechanism of a bicycle to protect this drive mechanism from the accumulation of dirt. A back elevational side of this fabric cover has spaced circular cuts with access cuts to these spaced circular cuts, thereby forming an access flap. These cuts accommodate the fitting of this back elevational side about both the rear axle and the pedal axle, and alongside the drive chain and the sprocket of a bicycle. After the fitting of this back elevational side about a rear axle and a pedal axle, Velcro fastener portions are used to keep the access cuts closed together when this cover is in use. A front side, which is continuous throughout, is thereafter secured to the back elevational side, where not previously initially sewn together to make this cover, by using components of Velcro fasteners.

Abstract: A cover is provided to protect a bicycle from exposure to environmental conditions during transport on a roof-top rack of automobile. Fasteners are used to secure the cover about bicycle. An aperture is located at the rear of the cover, i.e., the aperture opens in a direction opposite the forward motion of automobile as represented by arrow. As a result of a difference in air pressures between the interior and exterior of the cover, a pressure drop occurs at aperture which in turn creates a suctioning effect to inhibit undesirable buffeting and possible tearing of the cover.
