More Favorite Photos from the London Tweed Run...

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

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…

Nice Surprise Ewan McGregor London Tweed Run

Immediately emerging in amongst all the fine Tweed Run photos I spotted several of Ewan Mcgregor--those more professional type photos quickly made the rounds and ended up everywhere (especially Tumblr).

I like these photos even more so. Ewan looks like just another chap, oh yes an unquestionably dapper chap… stuffed teddy bear and all!

See how well he fits in riding along, chatting along side with other riders, and having post-ride refreshments! He fit in so well, several people remarked they had no idea it was Ewan they’d encountered while on the ride.

Nice Surprise!

Beautiful Day! -- London Tweed Run held just yesterday April 9th.
Wonderful, I love the fresh cut flowers that adorn the wicker bicycle baskets, the adorable vintage dress the girls are wearing and of course the vintage bicycles they are riding.
