This is an ad hoc SHOW AND GO city ride aimed at those who miss Philly's big, beautiful TWEED RIDES. We are hoping to see lots of classic old bikes, folding Bromptons, low rider bikes, neckties, skirts, leather jackets, saddle shoes, wicker baskets, plaid vests and etc. (i.e., bring your oldest bike and that outfit you never get to wear usually!) Inside the train station, we'll gather at the North Waiting Room of the station for a quick photo op before setting off. We have heard much about the advantages of wearing Lycra and going fast. This ride will do the opposite; we shall "start off slowly–and then ease up"! Ends at a pub, where there *may* be some SWAG awarded according to an inscrutable points system.
