I keep a plastic store bag under the seat for just such emergencies. I
also have a seat cover to put over the seat so I don't slide all over
the place. I've used both on centuries and double centuries. Works
fine. Cellophane may also work but I don't know how well it will
last. I use cellophane on my bike computer to keep it dry. That allows
me to read the screen and press the buttons while still keeping the
computer dry.
