Hot and Covered...TWEED RUN!!!

TWEED RUN
‘The bike and the style back to reign in the city’
A metropolitan city ride with a bit of style!

Nostalgia for the days when bikes were to dominate the streets of our cities? Then there's nothing better than a nice "Tweed Run. " It is not, of yet another Critical Mass rally to a more sustainable mobility, but a re-enactment, so scrupulous as it is entertaining, the more traditional British style. As stated in the manifesto of the London event, which counted more than 400 attendees: "A metropolitan city ride with a bit of style. "

The phenomenon was born in 2009 in London (thanks to the Web) is already spreading to other bike lovers and British style around the world. Some Tweed Run were held in San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo. Italy also has not made its missing piece of Great Britain, with the Tweed Run of Pescara.

Run to the Tweed you can participate with any type of bike, but the opportunity to remove a bit greedy and 'rust your bike vintage. Among the principal sponsors London: Rapha, Brooks England, Hendricks Gin. But are many brands of clothing from Barbour in Engineered Garment increasingly interested in broadening its range of clothing for urban cyclists who no longer seem sloppy runners or skiers to town.

Then all in the saddle wearing tweed, vintage, vintage wool jersey, silk ties, caps and sporting bizarre mustache as true gentlemen. In the end no matter who cut the finish line first. To be awarded at the end it will be fun and style.
