Oh, also, I take my cover in to work when there's a chance of rain. The seat acts like a sponge, and there's nothing worse than squelching your butt into a nice soggy sponge after a day of work.

I have to agree. The $20 cover will keep the dust, dirt and bird droppings off the bike as well as out of sight for the honest people.
Try a plastic bag over the seat when rain is in the forcast. Either that or wear waterproof pants.
