"K" is for Knitwear

I've seen some interesting bicycles on my travels through Europe but this one on the street in Avignon was the first I've ever come across decked out in knitwear. The south of France was dealing with an unusual spell of hot weather at the time so it must serve a different purpose.

Any ideas?
