A Jolly Good Ride!
- Words by Peppermint
Fancy partaking in a tad of swelegant cycling among a crowd of casquette-clad riders? Dapper lads and elegant ladies dressed in their finest tweed will be coasting from Sydney’s Town Hall through the city streets to a secret location in Alexandria on Sunday July 31st for the 3rd Annual Sydney Tweed Cycle. Helmets are still a must, of course, so why not get crafty in advance and design your own vintage-inspired helmet cover? Picnicking post-ride is also highly encouraged – there’s even prizes for the best picnic blanket spread! Oh and did we mention the whole thing’s free? How very splendid indeed!
