2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

Brill. I can't believe how much this is spreading!
Well chuffed to have been part of it and again thanks to all especially teddy!

Incredibly, they've used one of the three photos in which I feature, and the only one in which I look human. Very chuffed.

Is that me in the back left with DJ's red snot rag around my neck? I tink 'tis!

Looking at the last referrer it's just hit Japan.

I just woke up from a dream that I was riding around Disneyland in full tweed glory with an absolutely huge mustache, I was stealing peoples food right out of their hands and eating it?!

just seen the link to hypebeast, never thought a fat bloke would be on a trendy street mag.

I know it's late and I know these are shit but here are the phone cam pics I took on the day:

Good people in Tweed,
Many of you fine and splendid folk would have seen my friend Steve having a little sit down on the Hackney Road after a spill. May I take this opportunity to update you on his progress.
Bearing in mind that he finished the run and then cycled home, Steve suffered deep bruising to his shoulder and left knee and broke the base of his femur!!
After this sterling effort he is now resting by a roaring fire, re-reading Jerome K Jerome and learning to play the banjo.
Thank you all again for your help and concern and special thanks to Andrew, the two fellows who righted his Bob Jackson and to the delightful lady who gave him her water.

that was me! nice to be described thus! happy to help, poor fella, he took a nasty tumble. really hope he's much better soon x miss kitty

when will this film be ready?

Amsterdamize, which is a blog; run by Marc - also posts on here as Amsterdamize;
has the best Tweed piece I've seen, with dual slide-shows, that run in tandem. See it here.

Already a copycat run! http://bikesandthecity.blogspot.com/2009/01/los-events-san-francisco-tweed-run.html

EDIT: also who was the guy with the black frame with white 'diplomat' decals? My last bike was the same except grey-silver with black decals..

Bristly Pioneer, if you mean the 50s Dawes.

I think so, did they look like this?

I ordered some Scottish cream socks for the tweed run...they just turned up now:(

Although i don't mind as they bloody brilliant!

Oh sweet lady, with your face like a cream oval. Your nose, like a delicious slope of cream. Your ears like... cream flaps. Your teeth, like hard, shiny pegs of cream.

EASTER VINTAGE JERSEY RIDE
(WORKING TITLE)

I am planning a ride for the Easter weekend (10th-13th April). Which day exactly is still TBC depending on general concensus. Please voice your opinions here. I realise many of you will be making plans already.

The 'theme' will be Vintage Cycling Jerseys, inspired by the Milk Race, Jacques Antequil and Eddy Merckx amongst others. So get on the bay and down to What Goes Around! We want to see pre 90s cycling caps and team jerseys!

This post is an inital notice so that people can suggest their preferred day, and hold off making other plans for that weekend for now. I will update this OP as and when details are confirmed (and the spokecard is finished being designed).

After that I reckon we should do a ride that's just about shoes.

mmmm shooooeeesss.

I don't know if this is a repost, but it would appear the colonies have cottoned onto the idea... Thursday Tweed Ride in San Francisco
