My bike inspired me to make a fixed gear pattern. The skirt is made from five panels, which are smaller at the top than the bottom, mimicking the size change from a small chainring to a larger one. It worked out perfectly! The skirt fits well and I am really excited about how pretty the chainrings and chain looks. The top has a map of Los Angeles knit into it and my initials an the dates. The other side says "Bike Los Angeles" and has the downtown map pictured on it. I don't have a picture of that yet. The legwarmers have the same pattern. Pictured below is my bike with a bunch of chickens at the Crenshaw High School garden I went to visit on a Bikesummer tour. I was just charmed to see how cute my bike looks next to roosters. My bike is 36 years old and I can say with near -certainty that it has never before been in a chicken coop.
