Today (Saturday) was the Tweed Ride. Bikes from the turn of the last century on with riders in appropriate garb for the occasion. Ride began at the Colonnade her in Northeast, went up and down Gladstone Boulevard and then by the Reservoir, along Cliff Drive and ended at the Kansas City Museum with a picnic.

ReplyDeleteSeriously, who ever thought such a bicycle would be practical? I'd be scared to death to try it. How do you get on those things, anyhow?
