Bicycle garage - why?

Do you want to take the best possible care of your bike? Then a bike cover – also called a bike garage or a bike cover – is one of the most effective and budget-friendly solutions. A bike cover acts as a protective “bag” that you pull over your bike, made of water-repellent and durable materials that keep moisture, dirt and UV rays away. It’s a simple way to keep your bike clean, tidy and better protected all year round.

A bicycle garage protects against wind, weather and wear and tear

Bicycles that are stored outside are exposed to rain, snow, sleet, sun and moisture – and they wear out more than you think. Rust in the chain and frame, faded paint colors and moisture damage to electronics (especially on electric bikes and cargo bikes) are common problems when stored outdoors.

Choosing the right cover depends on use, bike type and location. Get an overview in our guide: Bicycle cover – what should you choose?

A bike cover not only protects against the weather, but also against dust – especially if the bike is in a garage or basement, where dust quickly accumulates. At the same time, a cover makes the bike less visible to thieves, and combined with an alarm lock, it becomes significantly more difficult to steal it.

Choose the right bike cover for your bike

There are many types of bike covers, depending on the bike type, size and needs. For example, you can find:

• Bicycle covers for regular bicycles
• Covers for electric bicycles
• Covers for 2-wheeled cargo bikes
• Covers for 3-wheeled cargo bikes

If you have several bikes parked together, you can also choose a larger cover that covers two bikes at once. If you often park in a bike rack, you can find bike garages with steel eyelets at the bottom , where you pull a cable lock through – so the cover is both secure and does not get stolen or blown off.

Why a bike garage is a good investment

• Extends the life of the bike: Less rust, fewer repairs, longer durability.
• Keeps the bike clean: Less dirt and dust – especially important when stored indoors.
• Protection of the e-bike's electronics: Less moisture = longer battery and controller life.
• Less attractive to thieves: The cover hides what is underneath.
• Cheap solution: A quality cover is significantly cheaper than a bicycle carport or repairs.

In short - at cykelgarage.dk you will find a cover for any type of bicycle, regardless of whether you have a regular bicycle, an electric bicycle, a 2-wheel cargo bike or a 3-wheel cargo bike such as a Christiania bike .
