Hark, A Velocipede! Or, The Boston Tweed Ride In Photographic Illustrations

(C. Fernsebner)

Despite one Bostonist's reservations, we caught up with the Boston Tweed Ride and its splendid haberdashery as it paused at the Weeks Foot Bridge on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Participants removed their bicycle helmets to don more genteel millinery, suitable for mingling, tea-sipping, pipe-smoking, and accepting awards daintily. Much argyle was in evidence.

I don't get it. Really. Tweed? What's the connection with cycling?
