new crochet hand grips

these are my new bicycle handlebar grips.

the bike frame is yellow and i never liked the standard black hand grips...

so first i took a stanley knife to them to cut away the upright round rubber section...

and then i tried out some crochet.

riding for all occasions...
why do most of us in australia think we have to wear ugly 'pratical' footware to ride our bikes!

i've just been looking at the cycle chic blog.
these are some of the images i found there!



if only we in australia could enjoy the freedom to ride without a helmet...




now i really do need to learn how to crochet.
