Here in the hallowed halls of the Philadelphia Bicycle
Journal we are pleased to announce that Saturday, November 17 and Sunday,
November 18 will officially be the 2012 Philadelphia Bicycle Weekend. Why,
because we said so. This weekend will have something for everyone.
For those of you who are looking for a social ride and with
the opportunity to dress up there is the Philadelphia Tweed Ride
on Saturday, November 17. A leisurely ride through Philadelphia with over 100
bicyclists all them dressed in clothing dating from the 1890's to the
1920's. Not sure if you have the
proper clothing, look through some of the pictures
found here you may already have items in your closet that will work.
If not a quick trip to a thrift shop or consignment store will have you
properly outfitted.
For those of you who want to challenge yourself at a competitive
level on Sunday, November 18 there is the Philly Cranksgiving Ride.
Departing from Penn Treaty Park you will be navigating to a series of
predetermined supermarkets. At each market you will purchase an item of food
from a list supplied and then bring everything to a final destination, Tattooed Mom's on South
St. The proceeds are donated to Philabundance
and this year Tattooed Mom's will match all donations.
With the weather predicted to be in the 50's it should be
perfect bicycling weather.
