Bike cover when on the carrier

[macp]

Just taken the step of getting a hitch mounted bike carrier to carry two ebikes. I’m now thinking about a cover for when they are locked & loaded. Anybody have any recommendations ?

Take care, because a cover in the turbulence behind your car might result in a surprising amount of rubbing on the paint.

I doubt that any cover available off the shelf will fit.
You would need a slit or aperture to go around the securing arms of the rack.
I could never put one behind the car I would be anticipating it lifting like a parachute.
Just had to wash loads of dead insects off the bikes after a run through France

Thanks guys im just a bit precious about my bike and worried about it raining and covering it in grit etc. Or am I just over thinking it ?

You're over thinking it. Do you never ride on wet roads/paths/trails? Much worse for the bikes.
