Ah yes, the Tweed Run. What list of ridiculous bicycling events would be complete without it? Started by Londoners in 2009, the event has since been exported all over the globe and is always popular with cycling and vintage enthusiasts alike. It’s essentially a tweed-loving bicycle catwalk, where people ride around London all day looking fabulous. There are multiple tea breaks and a picnic stop. It is, obviously, glorious.
