for this reason..."

If that's all that's wrong with it, make a new cover out of the good
part of an old pair of bike shorts. No sewing required, just cut out a
hunk big enough to go around the saddle and fasten the bottom together
with dental floss or string or thread or yarn fed through a needle of
some sort. If even that is beyond you and you have lots of lycra, hold
it together with staples or safety pins.

Dental floss is useful stuff. I used it to sew an air cleaner for my
son's motorcycle a few years ago...
