A unique travel and storage cover for covering wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles. The present invention discloses such a cover that form fits a wheeled vehicle and is sufficiently aerodynamic that the cover can be used when transporting the bicycle by motor vehicle. The cover is constructed such that it fits tightly around the wheels, pedals, frame, handle bars, and seat of the bicycle. The cover may be constructed in one piece. Alternatively, a separate seat cover may be provided such that the seat is tightly covered. Alternatively, the cover may comprise multiple pieces, each designed for covering a particular component of the vehicle. The cover is provided with zippers, VELCRO, or other suitable means of attachment at all locations comprising openings in the cover. This allows the bicycle or other vehicle to be easily placed inside the cover. Once inside the cover, the cover is secured by closing the zipper or zippers. This provides a tight, form fit which holds the cover snugly about the bicycle. The cover may be provided with one or more sections of mesh. These mesh sections are positioned over openings in the frame of the bicycle or over the wheels, i.e. any place within the silhouette of the bicycle which does not comprise an actual part of the bicycle. The mesh allows air to pass through the bicycle and cover such that flapping of the cover is minimized. As an alternative, the mesh could be eliminated and on opening could remain.
