Thanks for the comments Jeff and Rachael. The dress guards are crocheted of cotton yarn, and the Simeli website points out that they are washable. I think it would be OK to just let them dry in the sun with the rest of the bike too… just like you would a leather saddle or woven wicker basket on this type of bike.

I love the crochet dress guard. It might not be totally rain worthy (depends on what type of yarn you use), but its fashionable and cute–a detail of utmost importance! Thanks for the share, James. And for those cyclists out there that have a crafty edge, you can download a pattern at Bobbin & Sprocket’s Etsy store.

This strikes me as an odd combination. A fendered bike with
an accessory that doesn’t look rain-worthy???
