I've found an inexpensive alternative to the bare tire with toe strap or tire inside a sock is to use old canvas bank bags with toe straps. They cinch up to hold additional items like tools or emergency funds, look good if you fold them right, and provide protection from the elements. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA
