The Happy Bicycle Reviews

Now here's something completely different: The Happy Bicycle shares with us an astounding variety of DIY goodies to spruce up our two-wheelers. There's a great mix of functional and fun, practical and pretty to get us pimping our rides in no time! For multi-talented makers (really, that's most of us), there are knitting and painting projects as well as fantastic sewing projects.Picking out faves is almost impossible, but we'll do our best. You guys, there's the Jordis Crossbar Clutch, an ingenious clutch/crossbody bag that straps into place on your crossbar. The Magdalena Quilted Panniers attach to each side of your bicycle rack for ample storage and then can be carried tote-bag-style by their gorgeous wooden handles. For a really fun short-term project, grab your favorite ribbons and whip up the Petra Handle Streamers to blow in the wind on your pedaling journeys. There are 16 projects in this book, and we think the hardest part is picking which to make first! Generation Q Magazine, Jan/Feb 2015 If you love your bike, you will love this book, especially if you have an older-style bike. There are many different bag designs to make - all of them practical and bright, plus some that are purely whimsical. A flower bell anyone? Most projects are for sewing only, while one involves painting and there are a couple of knitted ones as well. There is a cute pieced skirt guard made from oilcloth that will also make your wheels immediately identifiable. With all the options given for carrying your gear, you could change the look of your bike to match your outfit, if you were that way inclined, or create some lovely gifts for others who like to ride.
