Fancy a charming jaunt around the sights of London in a decorous style becoming of the Edwardian upper middle classes?

Then the annual Tweed Run is for you — around 400 people on safety bikes, and some more dubious contraptions come together for a jolly fine day out perambulating around the city.
A spot of English tea, a picnic and a chance to show people how cycling is supposed to be done — in style, with politeness, and a notable lack of flashing lights (a davy lamp may be permitted).
The Tweed Run will take place on Saturday 27th April 2024, and tickets will go on sale on Friday 8th March at noon from here.
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

I tried to FIND this bicycle spectacle last year in order to watch them go by, and was completely unsuccessful. In fact, I ran into a few Tweedies who were also looking for it! Can Ian tell us the route, please?
