Description

Made for longtail cargo bikes — the covers that carry kids and shopping on an extended rear rack. The Longtail adds the length and coverage a standard cover simply can’t stretch to.

Waterproof ripstop with fully taped seams keeps out rain, snow, ice and grime, while the toggle adjusters shape it around longer frames so it stays put outside. Like every BikeParka, it’s PFAS- and PFC-free.

Two lock-through slots let you pass a lock through the cover and around the frame — securing bike and cover together and holding it low in the wind.

Folds into its own Stuff Sac. This is the version for longtails without child seats — got seats fitted? That’s the Longtail WS.

Care

Wipe clean with a damp cloth; no machine washing. Let it dry before packing away. We recommend rotating your BikeParka regularly and avoiding prolonged direct sun to maximise its lifespan. You may see a little condensation on the bike under any outdoor cover — whatever the brand, it’s unavoidable and vents out on its own; spots where the cover touches the bike just take a little longer to clear.

Delivery & returns

Free UK delivery over £50. Shipped worldwide with duties handled at checkout. Easy 14-day returns on unused covers.

“I leave my fat-tyre utility bike on a Scottish island for extended periods. Not only does my XL BikeParka protect my electric bike from the elements, it looks cool to boot! XLent!”

“Fantastic cover. Great all-weather coverage. Fits my Tern GSD Gen3 with Clubhouse and storm box, with a Thule seat, perfectly.”

“Great cover — the tightening points really reduce pools of water forming. I use it for a Yuba Kombi with front basket and monkey bars. Locking access works great. Excellent, and would really recommend.”

“I already had the STASH for my road bike, so when I ordered the XL/MTB for my mountain bike I expected the same high quality — and I wasn’t disappointed. It just works, and it works well.”

“More than spacious enough to cover the whole frame, and easy to put on and take off. It protects my bike from the rain — and stops it getting covered in a fine layer of dust.”

This cover is great and easy to use. I have a Pelago Brooklyn which has quite high handlebars but I find the cover is more than spacious enough to cover the whole frame and is also pretty easy to put on and take off. It does a great job of protecting my bike from the rain and also as I live in an urban area it prevents the bike from getting covered in a fine layer of dust.

Exceeded my expectations: fits over my bikes, protects from the elements but mostly it looks fabulous 🤩

I bought this for my tern quick haul long d9 that has a Thule baby seat in the back and it fits great. I don’t keep the bike outside continuously but use this cover when I have multiple rides a day and don’t want to manhandle it into my bike shed over and over. So far it has held up great.

Bike Parka very substantial and well designed. It covers my bike perfectly and I feel very confident about leaving it outside within its Parka jacket .

I do love it - but because I have a Dutch bike I got the XL to accommodate the handle bars - as I don’t have a child seat it’s a bit baggy in that area - great quality and a lovely colour

Great cover, the tightening points are great as it reduces pools of water forming. I use it for a Yuba Kombi (front basket, monkey bars included) with Surly Sunset bars (which may be a touch too wide for complete wheel cover). More useful than I thought too as I've been chucking in a pannier bag to take with whenever I know I'll be leaving the bike outside for a bit. Locking access works great (hiplok ankr and chain). Excellent and would really recommend

I wish it was wider at the handle bars I run 800mm and it is pretty tight.

I bought the Bike Parka as we don't have enough space to keep my son's bike indoors, so unfortunately it has to live in the garden. His Woom 3 was quite expensive, so I wanted something that would give it some decent protection from the elements.

Overall, it does the job well. It can be a little awkward getting the cover properly aligned over the handlebars and then along the frame, and I do wish it completely enclosed the bike at the bottom to prevent bugs and other creepy-crawlies getting underneath.

I can't really comment on how waterproof it is yet as, unusually, we haven't had any rain for weeks! So far though, I'm happy with it and it gives me some reassurance that the bike is protected while being stored outside.

I’ve had my bike parka just over two months now and it’s holding really good, especially during the last spring rainy season. I have a folding Lectric XP Lite 2.0 and the Urban more than covers and protects my investment. Thanks!

Nice color and tightly fitted around the bike which saves visual space on our balcony. Can't speak to durability as I just bought it but really happy so far

I have quite recently bought a bicycle cover from Bike Parka. Whilst I haven’t actually placed the cover on my bicycle yet, because I’m still getting every last scrap of value I can from the previous cover I had. However, I have to mention that the cover from Bike Parka looks extremely well made, easy to fit (as I have had a trial fitting as it were!) and very sturdy. I have every confidence its durability.
I would recommend the Bike Parka bicycle cover to anyone looking to protect their cycle.
