I used to have to wear one of those thunderbird jackets. Probably still got one somewhere. Will people laugh at me if I wear it at Laggan?

What was the point behind the "tweed run" other than the obvious?

i think the general idea was to have a day out riding bicycles. it's a hard concept to grasp for the non-cyclist but i believe they enjoyed themselves?
i guess much like riding around a muddy field 20 times it's something you have to try before saying you don't like it.Posted 4 years ago # -

I've never tried that, and I know I don't like it!!
Does that make me a racist?
Posted 4 years ago # -
i dunno. i haven't ridden in tweed or lapped a muddy field so can't decide if you are a bigot or not.

des doing laps of Reading's rubbish BMX tracks count as 20 laps of a muddy field?
in which case having done both i prefer wearing tweed.

Looks like great fun. Cycling needs more "turn up, ride, smile, have fun" events than all the willy-waving racing / who's more faux-rugged competitions*
SSP
*they have their place but too many people, bike industry included, place too much emphasis on it!

SSP seconded. The crtical mass haters should be proud of these guys too.

I like it. Great threads, bit amateurs night on the beard front though. I'm going to get me a 1940s haircut tomorrow.

It does look fun to me, but I can't help but feel that its all a bit too cool for me, what with them mostly being fixie riders. And my dad wears tweed regularly, so its hardly a novelty to me

Luckily I didn't get what I went to get ie. razored sides grading up to a slicked back longer top. Rather a sharp short side parting, more of a late Tsar Nicholas look.

more rasputin i'd have said

Can't you just pinch one off one of the Geography teachers at work? You'll get leather elbow patches and everything.
Jack Thurston was talking about this on his radio show recently - he was on the ride, and is one of the founder members of the Tweed Cycling Club. To be quite honest, it seems like a perefectly sensible thing - ride bikes suitable for the flatlands of London, don't wear technical clothing* to go down the shops, smile, have fun.
What's not to like?
*But if you want to keep your inner MTB geek alive, while still adopting this style, you can always buy this.

There was a period in time, about 10 years ago, when my mate and I wore tweed jackets on our jaunts around the pubs of the Hazel Grove to Chapel area.
My mate saw me riding down the A6 in High Lane:
'I saw you the other day, going hell for tweed down High Lane!'
A classic quote of my youth.

Loving that lumo-tweed, might have to get a pair of those strides for the summer commute.
Ed-O, I'm afraid you look more like a hobo who's been smartened up for an interview / family event - trim that beard man! (jealous)

...was the one with the brandy balloon glass and the moroccan butler CaptainFlashHeart then?
