More Australian Tweed! Canberra Tweed Ride, June 6th
Posted By Colin on June 5, 2009
Not to be outdone by the Sydney counterparts, the fine folks in Canberra, Australia are having their very own Tweed Ride on June 6th.
Canberra Tweed Ride
Saturday, 6 June 2009
Canberra Tweed Ride is a short bicycle cruise of about 15km through the Civic and Inner North areas, with stops at numerous cafes and pubs along the way. Expect a leisurely pace.
Tweed Ride has no agenda except the rejection of modern cycling “style”, to wit: carbon fibre, lycra, goretex and the like. Cyclists are encouraged to dress in their finest vintage garb, if only to prevent the onset of chill from inclement weather. Prizes will be awarded for best outfit, bike and facial hair.
The tour meets at the Gorman House Markets near the coffee van at 11.30am for departure at 12 noon. A map of the route is available on Bikely.
Cheerio!
…Hello dapper folks of Melbourne we’re waiting on you! Oh and of course I’m sure there are folks in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Hobart, Darwin, and all parts of Australia that look dashing on two wheels.

It’s a shame I only read about this online today.Too late to join in. Maybe next year!
Sounds like great fun.
Can kids join in (haven’t seen any Oliver Twists on all the links I’ve looked at).
Cheers

Oh, yes, children are more than welcome. My seven-year old was there and looked very much the part! Hope to see you there in September.
A real shame that the two events had to be held so close together! I would have gladly attended both! Hope to see you at the Vintage bicycle ride in September.
