Bespoke style: Hundreds of dapper cyclists don tweed for city ride

Hundreds of cyclists have travelled through London clad in tweed.

The starting bell rang at 10am on Saturday in Northampton Road, Clerkenwell, east London, with cyclists making their way to the finish line at St Pancras Gardens near King’s Cross, north London.

Wardrobe recommendations from the organisers, Bourne & Hollingsworth, included: woollen plus fours, Harris Tweed jackets, cravats, ties, cycling skirts and capes – and a hip flask for refreshments – with prizes awarded to best-dressed man and woman.
