I have two bits of skin (one on my left bicep and one on my right knee) that
currently have no feeling, following my bike crash three weeks ago. Does
anyone know how long it takes for peripheral nerves to regrow?

IMPE - Think of a figure, add a zero then double it.
Or, think of a figure, remove a zero and halve it.
YMMV a lot.

I have two areas of damage on my body (due to accidents with motor
cycles and model aircraft respectively) where feeling has never fully
returned.

Thankfully nowhere really important. :)

30+ years post bike crash hasn't got feeling back into my knee.

I had a patch on my knee, after a motor cycle crash, which when touched
made it feel as if somewhere adjacent was being touched. This lasted
for about 20 years, I suppose; it's perfectly normal now, but I don't
recall having noticed the effect for some several of your earth years.
I'd almost forgotten about it until your post.

Mmm - I had almost given up after something like four years of weird leg
sensations when things went back to normal, with a bout of really nasty
eczema of all things.

I had an area on my hand that was insensitive (can't even remember what
I did to cause it now) it stayed that way for quite a few months, but
full sensation returned with me noticing

The numb bit on my left middle finger came back some months after my
carpal tunnel surgery.

If you admit you posted as Lou Knee then your "God" will make them grow

As a personal aside that gives me hope.

I've had, and continue to have, unpleasant and often painful sensations
in my left forearm and hand since I was assaulted last August.

Each day that goes by I pray for a return to normality and the death of
the nefrubyr who injured me.

I have a similat area of outer thigh/ It first became apparent
about 4 hectofortnights ago and had no known cause. I'm assuming
it's permanent.
