Eco Fashion Friday In Keeping with Bicycles

Last week we talked about Peter Mulvey and his music tour, which he is completing by cycling 1100 miles. It got me thinking about the many accessories that come with a bicycle and how we can possibly create them ourselves.

Belts made from bike inner tubes have been featured here and I have even shared a video of an extreme biker, Danny MacAskill, who uses the urban jungle as his challenging obstacle course. To keep up the bike trend for Eco Fashion Friday, I turned once again to a favorite, Threadbanger, and discovered they have a killer tutorial video for how to make a cycle cap.

When the helmet comes off sometimes hair can be messy so what to do? Create a one of a kind cap that’s what! For those who like to keep the wind off their hair it is a nice item that can be created over and over making as many unique hats as you like. But be warned, this is not a beginner project.

Now go find your fabric and get started!

Shock and Awe on a Bike

Seeing what skills people in this world have sometimes just blows me away. While on Twitter earlier this morning I happened across a tweet from one of my new favorite daily inspirations, Zen Habits, who linked to this amazing video of Danny MacAskill showing off his impressive skills with a bicycle.

The first minute or so is painful to watch as it looks like maybe it will all be bloopers of this guy’s misadventures with fences but keep with it and revel in the fact that your jaw can not open any wider! Too cool!
