XXL Size will not Fit Three Large Bikes on Car Carrier

BEWARE - So here is the problem with my XXL 3-Bike Cover :The bottom portion of the cover is not wide enough to drape directly down over three large adult-sized bikes that are mounted to a rail type car carrier and reasonably spaced. My carrier has the three bikes about as close as they can be, with the middle one in reversed direction and the handlebars of the two outside bikes touching. There is no way I could squeeze them any tighter together to reduce the footprint of the coverage area.After slipping one end of the cover over the three tires at one end (two back and one front), the other end of the cover will just barely clear the two handlebars, with a lot of pulling and yanking. But it then comes up short of slipping down over the three tires at the other end. I am only able to stretch it down about halfway over the tires and have to strap it in place so the cover on that end won't pull back off while driving down the freeway. If the overall cover was just another 6-8 inches larger in circumference at the opening, it would still be a tight fit, but manageable.

Pros
  • The cover is quick and easy to put on and take off, making it a great option for those looking for hassle-free bike protection
Cons
  • The bike cover may not be able to withstand extreme temperatures
