Here is a hip and happy crochet cover for your back wheel to protect your long Fall coat, and a couple of equally hip and happy crochet bike seat covers.
If that was not all, I even have a complete cover-up for your bike, in case your bike gets cold. Just kidding. Just a picture for artsy inspiration…
Bike Wheel Cover
Your Free Crochet Pattern for the Happy Red Crochet Bike Skirt With Flowers

If you can read Dutch, here is a free tutorial for this darling bike skirt (literal translation: coat protector). If you are really keen to make one, and don’t read Dutch, leave me a comment below and I’ll see that I’ll translate it from Dutch to English for you.
It won’t be an easy translation as their crochet abbreviations and terms are quite different to ours! So, you have to really want to make this….
Bike Seat Cover

A great way to use up some left over yarn, and a nice way to create a soft but funky seat for your bike.
You can make this in a single color, you can use yarn that changes color as the first picture shows, or you can alternate colors to get a stripey version, as the second picture shows.
You can’t see very clearly, but the crochet flower is simply added at the end.
Again, if you are ‘seriously’ interested, I can have this pattern translated for you. Or, maybe easier, I can actually make it for you and
give you my crochet pattern. This translation will have to be in Fall, though.

I would love to have the Happy Red Bike Skirt With Flowers instructions translated into English for me. I would greatly appreciate it. I so want this for my bike. I don’t have a car and I depend on my bike to get me around. This would blow my neighbors away when I ride down the street with my special bike Establishment. Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Diane,
OK. Got the request. Gotta answer to a few other reader requests first… but I’ll put your request in the pipeline. Give it a few weeks…

I’ve been looking everywhere for a coat protector pattern and this is the only site I’ve found. Problem: I don’t read Dutch. Please can you e-mail me the translated pattern? English please? Thank you sooo much.
Hi! I love the beauty of this coat protector for bicycles. I have just bought a lovely old fashioned cycle and would really love to make this. I have tried to translate the patters but it made little sense! If you have a translation could I please have a copy? It would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Many thanks
