Crocheted Bike Basket on Bike

I crocheted a coral flower, and added it plus two light up flowers on my basket, and mounted it on my bike.  I love it!

 It's nice and bright and cheery and has lots of room for books, water bottles, and whatever else I might want to carry.

 I love how it looks on the bike, especially in the shots that are brighter, which show a truer color.

 I finally matched the coral color when I did the flower. I held one strand of tangerine and one strand of pink and it was a perfect match to the bike. I wish I would have thought of it earlier.

 I used shower curtain rings to attach the basket to the bike. I wanted white plastic rings but couldn't find them, so I used silver rings.  When I find the white ones I'll switch them out because plastic does not rust.

 I'm happy with the way the basket looks, and with the flower too, lol. i In this pic, the flower blends in with the real ones in the background.

My padded bike capris are in so now I just have to wait to pick them up, and I can go for a (hopefully more comfy) bike ride.

In the meantime, my Dad lowered the nose on my bike to see if it would help. I also lowered the seat a bit too.  My Dad put on my lights and rearview mirror so now I'm good to go!
