KC Tweed Ride – Photo Album

As Mark Rainey would say on his Kansas City Tweed Ride blog…. “Tweed Indeed”!

On Mark's Camera Obsura post there are some twenty plus photographers listed who took such fantastic photos of the Kansas City Tweed Ride! I think it is pretty special and rare to have so many photographers turn out. Big compliments and kudos!

And I can also add there sure were a LOT of photos to look through, and numerous fine ones -- it was quite hard to settle upon the six chosen here.

Let the photos speak for themselves. They always do.

Ah, well I can't resist adding my own two cents -- I LOVE what my eye delights in, the details!
So here it goes in a random stream of consciousness... dreamy wicker bicycle with wicker picnic basket, waterfalls and tandem bicycle girls - looks just like a tourist postcard, luscious emerald green jeweled bicycle light on an emerald green bicycle, old timey bicycle B/W vignettes, Mark's vintage Raleigh bicycle lapel pin...

More Favorite Photos from the London Tweed Run...

Starting with this most romantic of bicycle fashion's yesteryear looks - a "Victorian" girl...

Followed by some most decidedly dapper gents...

There are still more photos and videos that just keep turning up from the London Tweed Run. Ah, I could just keep on posting them on and on...
This last group happens to be some of my very favorite ones.

Back to the first photo for a moment. As you can see her dress is quite long and she seems to be doing an expert job of riding along quite fine! This could be inspiration for any one who'd like to try wearing a longer style skirt, though do take note her bicycle has a skirt guard and full chain guard.

World Visitors at London Tweed Run

In the first photo that’s Kelly & Robert from San Francisco...

People from all over the world come to ride in the London Tweed Run. There were reports of other riders coming from Auckland as well, plus a few continentals mixed in. The London Tweed Ride is becoming sort of a ‘bucket list'- a must do, as overheard and twittered about.

Good news: there is already a Fall London Tweed Run in the works!

My favorite family photo of the day has to be this one of Antonia’s family. The “God Save the Queen” flag as partially seen in this photo was a big hit – it’s draped over the child carrier from where the little one peeped out and enjoyed the ride. I also hear tell Antonia’s husband Ian, won the “Best Mustache” award. Yes, indeed!

Lastly, I just love the photo of the lovely lass…

Further thoughts on this particular offering of Tweed Ride photos-- I'm just so smitten with everyone's talents. Really Philadelphia has more than it's fair share represented here, just check out their group flickr pool of no less than 10 contributors to that one ride alone.

Also much heartfelt thanks to everyone who so quickly and enthusiastically offered up their photos!

And as a final thought-- you dear reader, really owe it to your self to go visit each of the links to see many, many more fine photos from that particular photographer and/or from that Ride.

There are more photos of more rides I want to share with you. Hmmh, I'm still working on catching up. More photos to come next week (or so) that is when I return from some travels I'm off on.

Winnipeg Tweed Ride - Bicycle & 1919 Train Photos

A 1919 Train - the Winnipeg Tweed Ride! My, these photos capture my heart. The Lass (1st photo) looks like she just stepped off that 1919 train and is about to journey on with her bicycle...And her friends (2nd photo) have come to meet her. *Note to myself : it's so easy to ignite my imagination looking at Tweed Ride Photos..

All and All the Winnipeg Tweed Ride looks to have been a really fine ride!

Tweed Ride Video - Curitiba Brazil

Tweed Bicycle Ride - Curitiba Brazil! Oooh, swoon...I spy some very handsome devils in Tweed!
This video is a treasure, even if it's a bit on the long side - as in almost six minutes. All the more viewing time of those handsome devils.
The ride was just this month - September 18th

Atlanta Seersucker Social - Dapper Gents & Summer Belles

All photos by Cameron Adams/Atlanta Street Fashion

From the looks of these photos the Seersucker Social in Atlanta was quite a spectacular event.

What stylish riders! The gents this time really took the cake in overall style points ( via my humble opinion) - not that the ladies weren't absolutely charming. It's just that Atlanta's
fine gents reminded me of some recently inspiring photos. Ones that I came across in the NYTimes Fashion- Style section. See what I'm talking about here...for a case in point.
