That's a good thought. I actually have a bike stored elsewhere under a tarp, but that's a situation where it's under the tarp most of the year, then I visit, take it out once, then put it back a week later. It takes too long to remove and replace it, though, for this use, because I take it on many short rides throughout the week. The nice thing about the cover I currently use is that it's elastic at the bottom and goes on and off quickly.
