This hitch cover is a great design. It is lightweight and easily fits over two bikes. I had no problem getting it on and getting the straps secured following the instructions. I even got it to cover three with the handlebars folded in line with the frames. In terms of basic function, it kept road dirt and most moisture off of the bikes, and to its credit, survived a five week, 8,500 road trip on the back of our motorhome with only a couple of duct tape patches.The downside is that the fabric is thin and with use gradually stretches out. While this helps to make it easy to cover the bikes, it's also a problem as the waterproofing appears to be sprayed onto the inside of the fabric. As the cover stretches, the waterproofing loses its integrity, so rain and roadspray can get in. In fact, on several occasions after driving in the rain, I found water pooled in the bottom of the cover. There are drain holes on the bottom, but these seemed to rarely align with the low point due to the straps.I think the key to longevity with this cover are two fold. First, only cover two bikes maximum to reduce any stretching. Second, don't cinch the straps down very tight for the same reason. If you're not headed out on a five week road trip, this should prove to be a useful, lightweight cover for a reasonable time period. Overstock.com had the lowest price on this item of the several that I checked in early June.

I used this product to cover 2 bicycle on the back of a 5th wheel trailer traveling from from Utah to Ohio and then the return trip back to Utah. It worked great, never ripped or leaked. The straps helped remove the bulk of the cover to fit around the odd shapes of the bikes. I admit, I was a little worried for the first few hundred miles wondering what I might find at the back of the trailer. Repeated inspection found no problems and we completed our trip with complete confidence in the product.

For the money, this is an excellent buy. They are made by Swagman. I purchased one for each bike (3) as I am using them, with a little modification, on a 4 bike Thule platform hitch rack. My previous bag made by Adco, had a much larger zipper. The MSRP on the ADCO bag is more than 3 times the cost of this bag. The material seems the same. The picture shows two straps, but there are many more. I didn't count them, but a guess would be 5. If you have a pointed object, such as a brake handle sticking into the bag, put a cloth over the handle as it will wear through very quickly. The top corners should have been reinforced by the manufacturer. I am going to try and reinforce the corners with a iron on patch on the inside. If it doesn't stick, I will use a towel over the brake handle. Pull all the straps a tight as you can. These bags will see almost 4000 miles in the next few months.

Excellent product, directions were a little difficult to understand at first, but after reading them several times, we finally figured out how to mount the cover over the bike rack to the bike hitch. In tighting up the traps that were attached to the cover, one of the clips broke on one side. The plastic snaps are not that durable, should be a little stronger.

Easy to install on rack supporting bikes by wheels. Zipper is very strong. Straps are not changeable that is a disadvantages.

This is the 2nd Swagman Hitch Bike Rack Cover we have had. We bought the first one from a different .com store at almost twice the price. It covered our bikes on the back of our motorhome for 2 years before finally giving up to sun exposure damage. When searching for a new one, I found one for sale on overstock.com and was skeptical about the product with the price quoted. I was pleased to find out the price was valid. This hitch bike rack cover fits over both our bikes on the hitch rack, but we have to turn it upside down to make it fit..the reason for 4 stars and not 5. When this one wears out, we will buy another.

Fits over 2 bikes well, nice material and well made. With that said, unfortunately it covered/obstructed the rear/brake lights so I was not able to use it. That was a deal breaker. For that reason I can not recommend this to anyone. Nice concept but didn't work for me. Perhaps a clear or translucent material would have been more suitable.

After trying two other cheaper bike covers, I finally decided to spend the money on this cover. So far I am very happy with the quality and design. The fact that it covers the bike completely and has a zipper and several straps to securely hold the cover is a definite plus, since I use it on the back of my 5th wheel. I would recommend this cover to anyone

This product is great. Put the cover on my bikes on the back of the motorhome, fits perfectly. Works as advertised . Good quality. Used it to cover three bikes, a little snug in a few places, but it works!

Instructions sketchy. No explanation what the various holes were for. Did not fit well over my RV center hitch bike rack made for 2 bikes. Covering only 1 bike in the rack, there was too much material on the bottom, not enough room for the bike handles on top. I was expecting a better fit, as it appears in the picture. Contacted the company with unsatisfactory explanation. Not sure where water was coming from but water collects at the bottom. Had to make additional drain holes at the bottom so water would drain out. When it wears out, at least I'll have a long zipper to use and design my own cover.

The cover fit very well over 2 bikes on the hitch. It is of nice quality with a strong zipper. The directions to use the cover need to be more step by step with supporting diagrams. The directions included were a bit confusing for first time users. After the cover was on the bikes it rained hard and water pooled inside the cover. There are weep holes at the bottom of the cover but apparently we did not position them correctly. Again, nothing in the diagram to suggest this.

I have a hitch mounted bike rack that supports two bikes in wheel trays. The cover was advertised to work for two bikes but did not. The zipper would not fully close so I had to tie the ends together with string as close as I could get it. The attached straps would not reach all the way around to the other ends so I used bungee cords to secure the cover for travel. When I reached our destination the cover had ripped through from the brake levers and other places. This cover might work with a rack where the bikes hang on the crossbars because the standup version uses extra space that was not accounted for in the design? I will use it one more time on the trip home and then trow it away. Not a great value for two uses.

The bike cover is perfect for 2 bikes - the only thing we had a problem with was how to match the straps, but we worked everything out. Terrific quality and looks very durable. Easy to store.

The hitch bike rack cover is pretty good since there are very few other covers out there. It fits two bikes easily. Not the most durable, but then we only have a small campervan and the cover extends past the sides of the van. I find that heavy duty tape works when holes are made in the material.

We drove with bikes on a hitch rack with the tarp for a total of 2000 miles. We went through several hard rains so the benefit was well worth the investiment. I would recommend several additional tie downs/bungy cords to keep the tarp from flapping at 70 mph. A good way to protect bikes if you often travel.

I have had this cover for two weeks. We used it on a 540 mile trip and it did really well. I would suggest loosening and then repositioning the handlebars, so that they will be parallel with the bike frame. An allen wrench will do this trick . The bikes stayed clean, dry, and out of the weather.

The bike cover seems to be of good quality and plenty large enough for the two bIkes. My only complaint is that there are no directions as how to use it and fasten it. I have used it several times and still have not found an easy way to tie it down on the bikes. There are two holes in it for something but no idea what.

Cover works OK. However one strap's sewing came undone upon first use. Zippers do NOT stay put in wind, so have to jury-rig a device to "lock" them together in the center. On a small car, the cover blocks off the tail-lights.

PRODUCT ZIPPED AND STRAPPED CONVENIENTLY AROUND TWO BIKES, PROTECTING THEM FROM RAIN AND GRIME WHILE DRIVING 2000M.

The cover is well constructed but the designers didn't allow enough material in the handlebar area so that even with 2 bikes placed as close together as possible on a Swingman bike rack, the fabric was stretched so tight around the handlebars that I though the zipper would break.Wit minimal help available from the enclosed instructions, I tried 4 different orientations of the bikes and the cover but none fit any better. All in all a very frustrating experience.
