The word about the Sydney Tweed Ride is getting around with write ups by our fellow friends in Tweed SF Tweed, On the ride of stylish cycling at Laughing Squid
and a previous mention on DoubleOhTwo.

With the weather rapidly cooling the timing is about perfect for a spot of Tweed.


 
 

Following the fine style of London, San Francisco, Auckland and soon Chicago. Sydney is having it's very own Tweed Ride.

So gather your most dapper or ladylike apparel and join us for a spin around the city and a fine cup of tea!

 
 

Here in Australia we don't have a long winter, so as soon as the slightest chill comes in the air everyone dashes for their overcoats.
With that in mind we have just added new wool caps to the site so you can charge into winter filled with style and panache'.

 
 

I know I know am meant to be writing about the Bike Fashion show but........

Those denizens of style at San Francisco Tweed wrote about Rocket Fuel and paid us a huge complement. Here is the quote

 To match your suit I suggest adding a Rapha tweed cycling cap — though to be frank I find Rocket Fuel’s wool & leather cycling caps much more stylish.

Surry Hills Festival in Sydney will be showcasing some serious bike style for women at 11.45am today.

See you all there!

 
 

This question was asked of us this morning and this is what we've come up with.

Always remember your cap is handmade from VINTAGE fabrics treat it nicely please.

Ok few things here.

1 - let it dry (as in if it is all sweaty let it dry out) once it is dry it may not need to be cleaned

2 - gentle handwash only - under no circumstances should you put your cap in the washing machine.

3 - Do not use hot water, especially if your cap is made from wool.

4 - Do not wash leather - remember the episode of Seinfield where Jerry wonders why leather can't be washed when cows get wet? well learn from his mistakes and do not wash the leather.

5 - Do not use a Dryer

6 - after gentle handwash let it dry in the shade

7 - if that is all too much for you, just buy a new cap.

Late night last night or was that this morning? We all stayed up watching that Queen of the Classics, the 'Hell of the North' the Paris-Roubaix.
Exciting race this year and prompted the 'one day we'll be there to see it in person'. We'll keep you posted on when that happens, till then enjoy the cobbles.

 
 

Good Luck to all over at the ACMC's in Perth over Easter, looks like so much fun wish we could be there!

We sent Brad some extra caps so go chat to him if you want to stand out from the pack!

 
 

Now if you think your ahead of the fashion curve and generally too cool for school then you have to know Easter eggs are just not happening, they are so 2008.
So for this Easter get yourself, loved one, cat, polo team, grandma a Rocket Fuel cycling cap.
With prices starting at $25.00 (Australian dollars so even cheaper for practically the rest of the world!) it really is the ONLY answer for Easter.
