On Saturday British Bicycles of Chicago hosted its second annual tweed ride in honor of Guy Fawkes Night (which was actually November 5). Participants dressed up in their tweedy best and meandered from north side to south side,stopping for sustenance at various taverns along the way. The unseasonably warm weather didn't prevent them from displaying plenty of proper Brit-style elegance—even the guys, who looked dapper in caps, vests, and knickers (and even a kilt).

Hi Chicago reader , I could not find a general way to email you and so, in frustration, I'm sending my little note as a comment. Sorry it's not about the tweed ride.

The story is that me and my newbie blog (http://situp-cycle.com) recently sent our friend, Violeta Brana-Lafoucade, to interview a much more famous hyphenated name in Copenhagen. Yes, you guessed who. Mikael Colville -Andersen

Have a look at what Violeta brought back and to which I applied the cut and craft of mini movie chic.

Cheers,

Mike Rubbo
