With the incredible popularity of fixed-gear and single-speed bicycles, a subculture of tweed has quietly been gaining speed. Tweed Rides have started to spring up in many cities, creating an ever-so-stylish trend with an unusually low carbon footprint.


The dashing dames and dapper chaps wearing woolen “plus fours” and their Harris Tweed jackets float down the street in an understated and stylish mob. Exhibiting pleasantries and politeness for everyone to enjoy, “tweeders” have truly brought cycling full circle.
