We're starting to get some drizzle in the Northeast, and I'm wondering how much wind it would take to knock over a bike on the street under a cover. Thoughts?

Yes, the cover will make it worse. If you cannot get the bike indoors park it so the bike is leaning away from the wind so the bike is being pushed against the sidestand.

It wasn't last year, it was the first year of the Indy GP. 3 years ago I think. Hold on, I'll find the pic. |

It's hard to see cause I took this picture from my iphone from my window. I propped it up against a parking sign outside of my window and I lashed it to the pole. I bungeed the cover as best as I could. I'm hoping for the best.  |

I'm gonna go ahead and say that if a hurricane, or even a tropical storm, can knock a tree, light post, or even a building down it can probably knock a bike over.
