BikeParka FAQ - Find the Right Bicycle Cover for Your Bike
Everything you need to choose the right BikeParka: sizing, fit, which model suits your bike, and how ordering works. Already own one? Fitting, care and everyday use questions live in our Guides.
Quick answers
Start here. Most bikes fall into one of these six.
Standard bike
Road, hybrid, commuter, city and standard e-bikes, handlebars up to 63cm. STASH or URBAN.
Mountain bike or wide bars
Wider handlebars up to 100cm, bigger frames, bulkier e-bikes, or a standard bike with a rear child seat. XL / MTB.
Longtail, no seats
Extended rear rack, up to approximately 210cm long. Longtail.
Longtail with child seats
Same length, cut wider and taller to clear fitted seats. Longtail WS.
Front-loader cargo bike
Box bikes and front-loaders, handlebars up to 120cm. Cargo.
Kids and BMX
Children's bikes and BMX up to 140cm long and 120cm high, bars up to 55cm. Kids / BMX.
Measure your bike
Three numbers settle almost every fit question.
Wheel to wheel, front tyre to back tyre. Include a rear rack or deck if you have one.
Ground to the highest point, usually the handlebars or the saddle.
End to end, including the grips. This is the number that most often decides the size.
Or search your bike in Find Your Fit
If your bike sits close to a limit, or carries a basket, child seat or tall cockpit, size up. The larger cover is easier to get on and sits more steadily in bad weather.
Choosing your cover
The questions people ask us most before ordering.

URBAN or STASH, what's the difference?
Same size, same fit, same fabric. Both suit standard bikes with handlebars up to 63cm.
The URBAN has built-in lock-through panels, so you can pass a lock through the cover and around the bike. The STASH has brass eyelets at the hem instead, for threading a cable lock. Choose URBAN if you park in public and want cover and bike locked together, STASH if you want the simpler everyday option.
Which cover fits a mountain bike or e-MTB?
The XL / MTB. It fits handlebars up to 100cm and gives extra room around the cockpit, so the cover sits properly instead of pulling tight over wide bars and a bigger frame.
Which cover fits a longtail with child seats?
The Longtail WS. It is shaped for longtail bikes with seats fitted, cut wider and taller at the rear to clear them, with two lock-through slots.
Take the seats off and the standard Longtail is the better fit. Both suit bikes up to approximately 210cm long with handlebars up to about 80cm.
Will a standard cover fit a cargo bike?
No. Front-loaders and box bikes need the Cargo cover, which is built for that shape with the extra length and width to match, and handlebars up to 120cm.
Should I size up if I have a basket or high saddle?
Yes. If your bike is near the size limits, or carries a basket, child seat or anything tall, the larger cover is easier to fit and more stable in wind and rain. A cover that is slightly generous cinches down with the toggles. One that is slightly tight never quite works.
What if I'm still not sure?
Send us your bike model, your measurements and where you store it, and we'll tell you which cover we'd choose. If we don't think any of ours will fit properly, we'll say so rather than sell you the wrong one.
What if my cover gets damaged?
BikeParka covers use ripstop fabric, so tears don't spread. Most damage can be patched at home with a standard tent repair kit. We don't run a repair service, but a repairable cover is a large part of why ours last.
Has BikeParka won any awards?
The BikeParka Stash is the lead pick in Cyclist magazine's Best bike covers 2026 guide, and the BikeParka Cargo was named Best Cargo Bike Cover by Bicycling magazine.

Yes. BikeParka is stocked across Europe and in selected shops in the USA, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. Find a stockist.
Ordering, shipping and duties
What it costs and what arrives at your door.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship worldwide from the United Kingdom with full tracking, including the UK, 27 European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Your own, in most cases. We price locally in pounds, euros, US dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Swiss francs, Norwegian kroner, Icelandic kronur and Japanese yen. The price on the product page is the price you pay for the cover.
Will I have to pay import duties when it arrives?
No. Where taxes and import duties apply, they are calculated and paid at checkout. Nothing is collected on your doorstep and there are no customs invoices later.
Why does shipping look expensive on my international order?
Because on international orders that line includes taxes and import duties as well as the carriage itself. It isn't all postage. When you choose your shipping method you'll see the breakdown, with carriage and duties listed separately.
We'd rather show you the full cost up front than surprise you with a customs bill later.
Is shipping free?
Shipping is free on UK orders over £50, European orders over €90 and US orders over $150. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, shipping is calculated at checkout and there is no free shipping threshold.
Where free shipping applies the carriage is free, but any import duties still apply and are shown separately at checkout. Full detail on our shipping and returns page.
Already have your cover?
Fitting it back to front, washing it, leaving it out all winter, using it on a bike rack: the everyday questions are all answered in our Guides, along with the fitting videos.
