Choosing the right bike cover isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. Bar width, bike length, and add‑ons like child seats or racks all affect which cover will fit best. This quick guide helps you match your bike type or model to the correct BikeParka cover, with links to shop each option.

How to measure in 30 seconds (so you order once)

Grab a tape measure:

• Lengte: wheel‑to‑wheel.

• Hoogte: ground to the top of your higher point (bars or seat).

• Width: handlebar tip‑to‑tip.
  If you’re between sizes, or you run child seats, racks, or a tall basket, size up for quicker on/off and better drape. For a visual walkthrough, see the BikeParka Fit Guide. BikeParka

Tips for a snug, secure fit

• Cinch the hem using the toggle system to reduce flapping and keep the cover seated in wind.

• If you lock your bike, thread the lock through the lock‑through panel (on URBAN, Cargo, Longtail, Longtail WS).

Always measure your bike and accessories before ordering; size up if you run tall bars, seats, or racks. BikeParka

Why the correct fit matters

A well‑matched cover sits lower, sheds water cleanly, and is less likely to lift in gusts—especially when you tighten the hem and use the lock‑through panel where available. An undersized cover can leave parts exposed; an oversized one can billow. Cinching the hem properly helps prevent these issues. BikeParka
