Bicyclists Get Dapper for DC's Tweed Ride!

BrandonBloch
It's an event that's sweeping the globe! First in London, then San Francisco, now Washington, DC!

Dandies and Quaintrelles put on their finest tweeds and throwback gear, polished up their vintage bikes and took to the streets of DC this past Sunday. The glorious bike ride brought together over 300 dapper ladies and gents, in character, as they rode down Capitol Hill, through downtown DC, and past the White House. NPR reported that the First Lady even took a peek at all the commotion outside.

This was DC's first Tweed Ride... the first effort by a new DC social group called "Dandies and Quaintrelles" The Tweed Ride raised money for the elderly and Alzheimer's research.

Look for future Tweed Rides coming to a city near you!
