It looks to be in good shape. Keep a weather eye on the tires as rubber has a tendency to dry rot over time. If you start seeing fine cracks that's a sign they are ending their safe life. One question why the cover on the saddle (seat)?

One other thing. The wind is seldom your friend on a bicycle, unless you want a real workout.
