Yesterday was the second annual event for the tweed run through the streets of London. Dress code required according to the publicity blurb:
"Proper attire will of course be expected, so dapper gents and elegant ladies, polish off your lugged steel beasts and prepare your best outfits. Suggested attire: 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."
All for a good cause too:
"There will also be a spiffing tombola draw for some lovely prizes benefiting bikes4africa, an organisation that refurbishes bicycles and gives them to rural African schools so that students who live far away can get to school"

What a spiffing idea! And what a fantastic photo as well.
Fabulous! Did you ride, or just photograph...? ;)
Great photograph! I love the expression on the face of the lady in the red top, serene and elegant!
U capture moments I would otherwise miss:)
This looks such fun - what a wonderful idea (so long as it's not too hot!)
I've just spotted my brother and I (the two chaps on the left hand side of this pic), what a smashing day out.
This looks like a fun event and a marvelous opportunity for photos!
Smashing - extraordinary! Dashing and divine peddling in the streets!
Bicycle weather...at last! Of course, if one lived in Copenhagen, we'd ride year round. Great photo to showcase the event!
Nice shot
Love the woman in red. She obviously didn't give a hoot about Harris Tweeds or jaunty capes. Uh,"spiffing tombola"? Translation please.
