I have not participated in a Tweed Run. If there were one that I could do right from my house, I suppose I would; but the closest so far have been NYC and Philly, which is too far to go for such silliness.
There's something about the Tweed Run that bothers me. When I go out and want to look reasonably presentable, I wear a tweed jacket; and my preferred mode of transportation is a bicycle; but tweed is not my idea of sensible biking clothing. The whole thing sounds like a weird kind of exhibition where I'd be embarrassed to be recognized.
