I would have loved to have made it down to Toronto this past weekend for Tweed Ride Toronto, an event which combines two of my favourite things: bicycles, and neo-Victorian fashion.
Despite the somehow appropriate drizzle and competing events such as Occupy Toronto, the Ride was a smashing success, with at least a hundred wool-clad cyclists taking to the streets to raise money for Bikes Without Borders – and look bloody stylish doing it.
Participants made their way through the damp downtown streets on everything from modern street bikes to the occasional Pennyfarthing. After pausing for a photo-op at Old City Hall, they continued on to Grange Park for a spot of tea before heading off to a Swing party to dance the night away.
Perhaps we should look into holding our own Milton Tweed Ride during Steam Era!
