Details as always are in The Tweed Ride Report

Beyond The Rugby Ralph Lauren Tweed Run NYC

Bill Cunningham (NYTimes) and The Rugby Ralph Lauren Tweed Run NYC have done a fantastic job of getting the entire world to take notice of Tweed Runs and Tweed Rides.

If you missed this one singular event, fear not. Contrary to a widening FOMO belief and to dispel the “IT- ness” this event has garnered, there is more beyond The Rugby Ralph Lauren Tweed Run NYC! So happy to report this!

Respectful thank you! RL for helping Americans discover Tweed Runs and to Bill Cunningham for his fashion take on it and explaining what it all means.

To those people just discovering the phenomenon -- do realize Tweed Runs and Tweed Rides number in the hundreds by now and happen all over the world.

To date Ralph Lauren is the biggest name sponsor to come aboard. Sponsors typically are more likely to be local independent bike shops, local bicycle accessory maker / designer (a cycle cap maker for example). For the most part everything is more grassroots in how the ride gets organized and sponsored. Quite often there is a benefit or charity aspect to the event as well.

Prizes are typically offered, often with a grand prize raffle too - usually via the generosity of an event sponsor. On offer as top raffle prize at The Rugby Ralph Lauren Tweed Run NYC was a special addition Rugby Pashley bike. In case you didn’t win it there is a special edition of fifty Rugby Pashley bikes up for purchase.

Be on the look out for a Tweed event in your part of the world -- or organize it yourself! Yeah for DIY! Try checking The Tweed Ride Report for an event near you.

As a last thought. There are many other Tweed Runs and Rides happening all over the world-- and so finely captured in such beautiful photography and outstanding videos. I will to continue to share these treasures with you. You may well find just how elegantly wonderful these other events ARE - yes, and forget all about missing the Tweed Run NYC...

The Tweed Ride Report is like a bicycle horn…

The Tweed Ride Report is like a bicycle horn…

"This is a high class horn of the bugle type. Gives a deep melodious alarm and can be heard at an extreme distance".

And with that as a segue -- I present you with four rides this weekend, another four rides for the following weekend (and alas the end of October's Tweed Rides and Runs) -- However last but not least, another nine rides scheduled for November! All the deets are in The Tweed Ride Report. For expediency reasons this week's four rides are:

Burlington VT Tweed Ride - Oct 22
Minneapolis Tweed Ride - Oct 22
Durango CO Tweed Ride - Oct 23
Detroit Tweed Ride - Oct 23

May's Tweed Runs Worldwide - Post Ride Photos

Presenting May's Tweed Runs. This is just a start! There were quite a few rides and runs occurring worldwide during May.

Beginning with Budapest...

Odense Denmark...(well actually it was on April 3oth)

Riding through Oxford...







On to Liverpool, where more joined this ride later on...

These were all inaugural rides. Budapest had a nice sized turn out and here is a video to enjoy. The Liverpool and Oxford runs ended up in pubs which always makes for good finish --so follow the links below, under photo credits to see more of the fun! Odense Tweed Run is on FaceBook and I believe to be Denmark's first Tweed Run group!

More to come, more to share with you.

**********

Updates Welcome! Hundreds of rides listed since 2009 and still counting!

This is revised. I reversed the order putting the most recent rides on top and the oldest rides at the bottom chronologically. Now you can find the newest rides straight away - so much easier than scrolling way down to the bottom to find the most current and upcoming rides.

What I haven't included are the 37 or so comments from the original post. It's well worth looking over for some insights and humor. Find it here.

I will keep adding Tweed Rides & Runs, past and future. A really nice iconic invitational for the event makes it just 'delish', besides I want to collect them all! If you're organizing an event or know of an event in your area please send in your invitational!


Without further ado! - Presenting for you below is a list of past Tweed Rides and Tweed Runs, and Seersucker Socials & other vintage themed bicycle Events . A lot of these use to be on my side bar (and you may well remember seeing them there circa 2009). Now for all posterity you can still find your favorites here. I just love these images, these invitationals...it makes me want to collect them all, let alone travel the world to take part in these rides!
