Tweed bicycle video

Has anyone seen this? It just looks awesome. What a cool video to see everyone dressed in tweed. I wouldn't even know where to buy tween clothing here in Toronto.

Check it out folks, its a cool video especially all those vintage bicycles. I still don't understand though how the English can wear such heavy clothing and not break a sweat.

Must have been a huge number of deaths from head injuries, with none of the cyclist wearing helmets.

The Brits have exceptionally hard heads.

Of course the ancient Phoenicians called it "the foggy isle" for a reason. But yes, in warm weather, a seersucker ride would seem to be more aprapos.

PS: Did you know? The bowler hat was originially a form of riding helmet.

Hahaha, this was adorable and charming. It's definitely not to my taste in clothing or bicycles but was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I liked that someone hauled out a Wista field camera for rider portraits.

Bringing some class back to the general population would do wonders for the world.
If you will excuse me I now feel the need to go put on some decent looking clothes and go find a punk with his his underwear showing and make fun of him.

Ha, that was great! There were some nifty bicycles. As far as temperature is concerned, I don't think that it is especially warm in London in April so the tweed was probably just fine.
