I say! Have you a pair of velvet knickers you aren't able to wear often enough? Do you lament not wearing your monocle on city streets, for fear of being mocked? Your time has come.
Tomorrow's Fantastic Cleveland Tweed Ride should be a jolly good time for those of you with a bicycle and an affinity for all things old time-y. Brought to you by Spin Bike Shop, the Tweed Ride is the latest in a series of similar events in other US cities and even across the pond. The event is a ride, not a race, though there will be stops for refreshments, challenges and, of course, shenanigans. Prizes will be awarded, including honors for most dapper (male), most snazzy (female), best moustache and "most prized steed." (For a little more information on Tweed Ride culture, visit the home of the San Francisco Tweed Ride, where you'll get an idea of proper attire, jargon and etiquette.)
The event begins Saturday, April 24 at 3 pm at the fountain in Mall A (in downtown Cleveland, behind the library); there is no cost to participate. Huzzah!
