Kansas City Tweed Ride

In the spirit of "The Golden Age of Bicycles", BikeWalkKC cordially invites you to attend in the annual Kansas City Tweed Ride -- Velocipede & Tweed Indeed! The event offers an afternoon of sophisticated social revelry upon the most marvelous machines ever devised by man.

The route will pass through one of the oldest and most historic neighborhoods of turn-of-the-century Kansas City with regrouping locations allowing for fine refreshment. The length of our journey will be approximately five miles and at a speed of the most casual nature. This is about style not speed, elegance not exertion. This is to be considered a family affair to be enjoyed by the young and old alike. You are encouraged to bring your own picnic fare enjoy at a designated stop along the route.

There will be competitions for Best Dressed Man and Woman, Best Bicycle and Best Facial Hair (bust out that mustache wax, fellas). The ride ends with a picnic at Scarritt Point with coffee and tea. We are considering a prize for the most creatively clever picnic portage contraption!
