Fifteenth Annual Cincinnati Tweed Ride

Join the Urban Basin Bicycle Club, the Mello Rollers of Reser, and Queen City Bike on a sepiatone stroll through the River Cities to celebrate the timeless brilliance of the bicycle and the rugged coziness of the nineteenth century's preferred cold weather attire. Wheel gather at 2pm at 14th and Elm for a Red Bike at Washington Park depart by 2:15, have a halfway warmup stop at the Coffee Emporium on Central☕️ and return to Northern Row Brewery 🍻 for libations by 4pm! Tweed rides showcase the elegant history of bicycle ridership with participants dressing up in nineteenth century style—a rolling period piece! Possible fashions include bow ties, newsboy caps, tweed jackets, knickers and kneesocks, wool skirts, sweater vests, handlebar mustaches, elbow patches, anything argyle, plenty of plaid, etc. Check out your local thrift shop for options! Vintage bikes and period-correct parts are encouraged and admired, but not required to participate. In the event of wet weather waxed canvas and Wellies would be welcome. 🦆 We'll ride rain or shine!
