“I must say: very British, indeed!” as my aunt commented. Yesterday was the date for the annual Tweed Run and we went out to enjoy the nice weather and see the spectacle.
We had some problem figuring out the route they were taking but finally found them riding through Kensington Gardens in front of Royal Albert Hall.
It seems like the tweed thing is a whole tongue-in-cheek movement of endorsing gentleman-ship, gin drinking and pipe smoking manifested in the magazine The Chap.
“The Chap takes a wry look at the modern world through the steamed-up monocle of a more refined age, occasionally getting its sock suspenders into a twist at the unspeakable vulgarity of the twenty-first century.”
The people in tweed looked like they were truly enjoying their ride but so were all the people looking and there was quite a number of people out taking pictures of the spectacle.
very British…I agree…We should take part some time! (if I ever get up to speed with cycling :P)
Chip Chip Cherrio ol’ chap! The Chap seems to be a rather enjoyable periodical, if I do say so myself!
I’d like to join that kind of bicycle event. It’s so cute.
Haha hvor ser det festligt ud!

Lovely cups Katie, and yes you can use it for your website. If you can, would you mind putting the photo credits with my name and a link to this site?
I LOVE this!
Yes, it all looks very very British – I love the ladies in their retro gear. I assume they all brought their own thermos flasks & cucumber sandwiches to complete the outing
