However.....the best compromise might be to get a "breathable" or vented cover.

As an alternative, go out before you turn in for the night and cover it THEN......after it has had a chance to dry off. If it is still raining at that point, it probably won't make any difference as it would probably stay wet all night anyway, cover or no.

Bikes in your situation NEED the metal parts polished/waxed more often than one that stays inside. Whatever rust/corrosion that does develop is mostly cosmetic.
