  • Patent number: 5372169
    Abstract: A water resistant cover in the form of a sack for wheeled vehicles is described. The cover accommodates wheeled vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, or the like. The sack packs into itself by means of a sleeve opening attached to the cover and therefore does not require a separate pouch for storage. This sleeve can be snugly closed around a lock to prevent moisture from entering into the interior of the sack while it covers the vehicle. A cable is attached to the interior of the sack which may be pulled through the sleeve opening to provide a means of locking the packed cover to the vehicle. This cable also provides a means of securing the cover to the vehicle while it is covering the vehicle.
