Tensioning bike cover elastic (8 Viewers)

[BrianS]

I borrowed my brother's really excellent bike cover that he bought at a recent show. It works brilliantly but there is one thing that lets it down which is tensioning and tying off the elastic that runs around the bottom of the cover. See attached photo.
Is there some sort of device like an over-sized guy rope tensioner available does anyone know please?

I bought one of these to go over the bike cover.

I bought about 5m of elasticated paracord.

I put the cover on, and then to reduce all bagginess and flapping I wrap up the bikes under the cover like and Xmas turkey.
It's worked all across Europe and back

Look for 'cord lock toggle', 'paracord lock' etc, I can't tell from the photo the size of the elastic so not sure if they do ones with a big enough 'hole' for the cord.
