Tweed Ride

My sister has a bunch of friends in Eugene that do “tweed rides.” Yes, dress up in tweed, go for a group ride!

Awesome!

I think Archival Clothing is a site that has some interest in this. Bikeportland seems to have some buzz too.

I noticed the tall bike, and asked my sister about it:

The tall bike is a rental from the CAT (our local HUB equivalent, of all things). It’s direct drive, but it can coast, pretty luxurious. The woman who rented it, April, is itching to rent it again at the end of the month and take it on the train to Portland for their upcoming tweed ride. Rawk!
