So, next I searched patterns for *knitted* bike skirt guards, and found a picture of a beautiful knitted lace skirt guard (but not a pattern).

Another discussion on biking with a skirt on (and tagged with #solarpunksunday ) brought back a vague memory that my mom had a crocheted skirt guard in her bike when I was little.

So, after some pondering, I of course had to search online is there patterns for skirt guards, or was it just a fashion phase. Turns out there is.

One of my favorite trees in one of my favorite places -- the "Riding Oak" of Newbury (Quascacunquen -- Agawam word for "waterfall", referring to the nearby Parker River). The tree is located by the Little River, at the base of "Old Town Hill", in the middle of the "Great Marsh" of Newbury, MA. The marsh is being restored to its natural state after being chopped up for salt hay harvesting years ago.
