Stupidest Bike Accessory Ever

I'll get the popcorn...

Why is it stupid? Mine has saved my seat a time or two when I'm transporting my bike on the back of my car. I don't like my Brooks exposed to rain and sun while it's on my Thule. I used plastic bags a couple of times, but the wind catches them and rips them. This is pretty form fitting and works perfectly. Maybe it doesn't rain there? Once I left in early morning humidity/fog and it kept the seat dry then, too. I try not to expose my bike to the rain, but sometimes the weather changes on a dime and I've been caught in it.

If I'm leaving my bike out in the rain and I intend to ride it later, I put plastic bags or a shower cap on the seat.

usually I double bag it, so I can take off the wet outer bag and sit on the dry inner bag during my wide & not wet my seat or bum prematurely.

But maybe I'm a princess.

i tend to turn mine inside out so as not to advertise the fact that there's a brooks saddle underneath, but yeah, i guess i don't see why it's such a bad product. it rolls up and fits under my seat so it's always there. i don't always have plastic bags on me.

Heh. If you even RIDE in the rain you're not as princess as me I don't know what it is but I can run in the rain and walk in the rain but riding? I don't know if it's princess or wuss, I just can't bring myself to do it.

I rarely do it on purpose.

Its nine dollars plus shipping. There are and endless supply of plastic bags waiting to be reused. If you can remember to keep that under your seat surely you can remember a plastic bag.
