Bike Seat Cover

Does anyone know how to make a bike seat cover? I've found several on-line, YouTube, etc...I don't sew so they seem a little complicated.

Maybe someone knows a simple method?

Better yet, one of those cushy bike seats that looks like a mini captains chair with a back rest and arm rests... *that* would be sweet. And you could just put a towel down for bike rides and not even worry about skid marks!

Get a cheap bicycle seat, spray glue the seat and stretch your fabric over it. Trim and secure. Never tried it, but seems doable. My first year i duct taped foam rubber to my seat, since it had been years since i rode a bike..and my ass hurt.

- punch/cut holes along the edge of the fabric shape (bigger than top of seat).
- thread pretty ribbon through holes
- put on seat
- pull string tight and tie a pretty bow
- tada! removable bike seat cover

Fufa is a genius but manly men could also:

--steal an elastic cord & cord stop off the front of your kid's backpack

--thread that through the holes, edges of which you have reinforced with fray-block or glue

--put on seat over layer of foam

--pull the cord, slide the stop, trim the excess

--tada!!!

I fully endorse your modification (and accept your compliment

)! A tight elastic might make for a more secure cover as well.

This should have been posted in the shaved balls thread.

@Fufa...By Jove, I think you've got it!

@MDF...And I'll go the manly route also as advocated by MDF, but perhaps zipties!

Ask...and ePlaya provides!
