My bike lives on the street full-time, so he has a "permanent" cover to hide under. It's a full-shroud affair, leaving only the bottoms of the tires exposed, and rather heavy material, so it's pretty bulky. When I am out for a day ride, or commuting, the cover goes in the left pannier and more-or-less fills it. That's fine for day rides, but poses a problem when I want to put anything else in that space. So I am curious: when you are traveling (not just day-riding):
Do you cover your bike, specifically when traveling?
