my Master

 Being poor gives you a chance to realise just how grateful you are to have a ride.  Also, it makes you stay home and 'chill' a lot more... I've actually found time to make friends with my sketchbook again.  I want to do this... But with my Master Piu and me... ha....

I haven't riden my beauty since my London to Brighton cycle in Septmeber - which ended up as a nice 70 mile outing that day.  Felt so good.   She's had a few changes since this photo - it's a few years old - and is currently out of my reach having another re-vamp.  Couting down the days till I have her back.  I think something like 50 miles would be a good celebration of the reunion.

Knitted Bikes

Spotted on my recent visit to Australia.
Along one of the main roads of Adelaide's town centre, this wonderful creations really added a great vibe to the street and drew me in like crazy to get a closer look at all the details that had been put into them.

 This blue beauty was the first I noticed, then the rest followed. 

Looking at it I wondered how long it took.  Well, the ones that I saw afterwards really stole the question when I saw them...

 This flowered beauty was amazing...

 I can't imagine how long it must have taken to knit all those loops for these wheels!

Check out these crafty little guys on the wheels!

Bikes, Knitting, Nature :)

 This chap didn't have so much decoration on his frame, but the fantastic idea of turning the bull bars into a bull is shear genius!  WHAT a mane...

 This rainbow bike was so eye-catching! A whole sky scene on one wheel vehicle:

 Check out the rad disc wheels:

 There was even a little owl nestled on the back wheel

  Then around the corner this little guy was lurking!

 I so want to make one! I wonder if these pieces are subject to 'yarn bombing' or a seperate project conconcted by locals to do something positive and cheerful with the adandoned bikes of the city?  I have so much respect for all the time spent knitting & crocheting all of these.  They're so much fun!
