The Tweed Run
Highlight of the weekend – chancing on the mass handlebars of the second annual Tweed Run, which took place on Saturday, April 10.
Kicking off at midday, several hundred tweed-clad riders pedalled from somewhere near Trafalgar Square to Bishopsgate, naturally taking in Saville Row on the way. Any proceeds go to the Bikes4Africa charity.

I’m determined to take part next year. Now I just have to get hold of a bicycle (or possibly penny farthing); some stout riding tweeds; and a set of Edwardian whiskers…
