Tweed Ride Toronto
Last Saturday was the 3rd Annual Tweed Ride in Toronto. I have gone 3 years now, last year I was part of the planning committee. It is always a great day, this year was the best yet. At the end of the ride they have a prize draw, I won for the best teacup and for best accessory. In past years I have won dandiest chap however this year they did not have that category. Here are some photos from the day:

Smashing! My tam's off to anyone who can ride a bicycle without getting his kilt wrapped in the spokes. Great photos and attire!

You probably already know this but I'll say anyway. A firm piece of plastic of the same dimensions as the cloth patch on your tam placed on the inside directly behind the patch will keep your badge firmly in place so it doesn't droop (think of the prongs of the badge going through the tam then the plastic). That's what's used by the lowland regiments.
Nice bow-tie!
Your cup seems to be marked "VR", Queen Victoria?

I never thought of doing that with my Tam, thanks for the tip. the bow tie and pocket square are both tweed from Fine and Dandy in NYC. The teacup is indeed from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 1897.

Tweed Ride in Edinburgh
Saw this posted over on Kiltr and thought it looked fun, similar concept.
I've done one in Oakland & Berkeley kilted and had a great time on my Raleigh, but I certainly did not look anywhere near as smashing as Glen!

Just missed the tweed ride in Rotterdam, also because my tweed jacket isn't ready yet. I have the perfect bike for it, so next year I'll give it a go. A high hipster density at ours though.
