It might be early in the game, but the Buffalo Lazy Randonneur Club already has 50 cyclists signed up for the Third Annual BLRC Tweed Bicycle Ride. If you’re not familiar with this ride, one of the more unique rides that this group organizes, then all you really have to know is this:
In order to be a part of the ride you need at least two of the following:
1) A bike – preferably a Penny Farthing
2) Like of cheese and cured meats – olives oils for the trendy types
3) Wear tweed – the more the merrier (mandatory)… woolens, dresses, knickers, bodice
4) Have luggage racks on your bike or your back
5) Know a poem or two… or able to give a toast (with jam not jelly)
6) Like picnics and pubs and ribbons
7) Bring a friend who is either a hopeless romantic or a bare knuckle shadow boxer
Join the BLRC for a “meandering ride along the waterfront as we make our way to Delaware Park and eventually the Essex Street Pub for toasts, poems and libations.” All are welcome…
