In case you haven't had your fill of seersucker and bikes yet this year...

No, you don't need a reason to get out and ride a bike. At the same time, when a good reason does arise, then there's the potential for a lot of fun to be had. Take, for example, the annual Seersuc...

The burgeoning bike movement meets the movement in cities across the country and creates an entirely different aesthetic for technical clothing. We see examples of this here in Rochester too with outfits like EvenOdd Creative and their assortment of accessories and gear (not necessarily attire) upcycled from old tubes.

A move to fashionable high-tech clothing.

We're not the only city with Seersucker and Tweed Rides. Buffalo and other cities do too, and coincidence can go only so far to explain this confluence. An idea starts somewhere and spreads, but why?

Always-drivers may never know the freedom, the zen, and the creativity in cycling. Clothes are only part, and if clothes were the only part, Slow Rolls, , and social rides would never have spread. Read the article, but to know the appeal, ride—enough to find comfort on the roads and feel the freedom to ride.

Get a comfortable bike. Rummage for a favorite sweater. And join the Great 5th Annual Rochester Tweed Ride. Take part in the urban cycling revolution now helping transform cities across America.

Okay, TweedHeads. It's getting to be that time of year. Unfortunately, all the planners of previous rides have moved on and are no longer interested in planning the ride. Send me a message if you are interested in planning this year's ride. All you really need to do is come up with a time, date and route and then lead the ride.
