To wear Tweed and ride on a bicycle down Savile Row: The Tweed Run
The London Fixed-Gear & Single-Speed forum held their first Tweed Run this past Saturday the 24th. The social gathering brought together approximately 150 bike riders from the London area on a cruise that started at H Huntsman & Sons at 11 Savile Row to the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club. The event suggested attire of elegant proportions including Harris tweed & merino wool pieces, flat caps, ties.
