Many people like the idea of decorating a bicycle with flowers. Previously, girls often put on the front or rear trunk of their mini-transport a basket with daisies, tulips or other flowering plants. This made the bike more feminine and the ride on it more enjoyable and romantic. Some people use this technique today.
Professional designers and just creative people went further. They decided that This gentle image can be used to decorate a summer cottage, and to decorate apartments. So there was a bike stand for flowers. Consider the varieties of such products, and also find out whether it is possible to make such a decor on your own.

- purchase a landscape figure in the form of a vehicle with containers in which they put flower pots;
- make a product of metal or wood yourself;

Industrial options usually offer to put flowers in pots on round stands located on the seat, rear and front trunk. Craftsmen in their work use baskets, wooden boxes and even small tubs intended for a bath as containers for plants. Structural details can be fixed with a rope.
Metal decor
Metal models more graceful. Openwork forged wheels and figured baskets turn the subject into a real work of art. As a rule, products are made not from ordinary iron, but from a material resistant to moisture. This is an important point, because if the composition is located in an open area, the impact on it of precipitation is inevitable.
In addition to three-wheeled models, there are products on sale, imitating two-wheeled transport. In such cases, 2 thin slats located on the sides act as a support.

Some prefer brown models. If desired, you can find a red, blue or pink bike.
