Show The World Your Love Of Bicycling With Metal Bicycle Planters

One of the best ways to show off your love for the past time of bicycling is to display a metal bicycle planter in your yard. You'll always have a place for your favorite flower arrangements, and a metal bicycle planter will lend an air of charm and quiet sophistication to any yard size and shape.
One of the most common designs in metal bicycle planters is the older, Victorian-era bicycle (the kind with the larger front wheel). For example, our friends at Winterthur have one that is made of handcrafted, hand-painted metal, which stands 17.75 inches high, is 9 inches wide and 37 inches in length. It features flower basket receptacles in front of the handlebars, on the seat, and down near the rear wheels.
Another metal bicycle planter comes to us from American Home Furnishings. This two metal bicycle planter is approximately 31 inches high and 56 inches wide. Made of bronze and brass metal, it has been hand polished in such a way that it will give the appearance of being a fine, aged antique. It is shipped complete in a single package, and resembles the kind of bicycles ridden in yesteryear. There are three receptacles for flower plants on this metal bicycle planter: in front of the handlebars, who at the seat, and over the rear wheels (saddlebags).
Another wonderful looking metal bicycle planter -- another in the "high wheel" bicycle design -- is the Red Carpet Studio 24-inch Bronze High Wheel Bicycle Planter. It is list priced at just under $50, and is manufactured by Red Carpet Studios. This metal bicycle planter is made of bronze and can be used either indoors or outdoors. Receptacles for hanging your plants are located around the larger front wheel, and near the rear wheel -- this design allows the handlebar area and seat to be seen. This metal bicycle planter is large enough to be enjoyed outside, yet small enough to be used inside the home as well.
If you head over to FantasticDecor you will find they have several metal bicycle planters. Actually, they are three wheeled bicycle designs -- commonly known as tricycles. One of them has a very large, square, plant receptacle perched in the back seat area -- perfect for showing off any larger flower arrangement. This metal bicycle planter is manufactured with an antique brown finish, and measures 16.5" x 8.3" x 11.3" -- a size that will fit conveniently indoors. The normal price on this item is just under $30.
FantasticDecor also has a very innovative metal bicycle planter -- made of wrought-iron, it too is a quaint miniature tricycle. The frame, wheels, and basket of this metal bicycle planter have been fashioned with a floral pattern design, to complement any arrangement of live plants. Priced at just under $50, it measures 19" x 8" x 12" -- again, this is an item that could be used inside or outside of your home.
