The first Boston Tweed Ride happened this past Sunday afternoon.  There were approximately 100 people who participated most dressed in stylish tweedy attire.

DotBike was well represented with some natty dressers including Phil and Maggie dressed to the nines.

The pace of the ride was VERY relaxed.  There was a stop at the Otherside Cafe, location of Boston’s first (and currently only?) on street bike rack – which unfortunately was temporarily moved to the sidewalk while road resurfacing was taking place.

Because both Debbie and I had colds we had to cut out early so missed Phil winning the mount/dismount contest.  Hoping to get some photos or video of that event to add to this post.

All in all a quite fun event so make sure to catch it next year.
