The London Fixed-gear and Single-speed forum held their first winter Tweed Run, a “social ride with a bit of style” Saturday, January 24. The invitation suggested: “woolen plus fours, Harris tweed jackets, flat caps, fair isle jumpers, alpaca coats, merino wool team jerseys, cycling skirts, and perhaps a jaunty cape for the ladies, cravats or ties for gentlemen, and of course a hip flask of brandy. 150 riders from the London area leisurely navigated a route which began appropriately on Saville Row and ended at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club.
