In the spirit of "The Golden Age of Bicycles" the Kansas City Tweed Ride - Velocipede & Tweed Indeed! is an annual ride taking place in Kansas City Missouri, offering an afternoon of sophisticated social revelry upon the most marvelous machines ever devised by man.

The ride begins as Loose Park and passes through some of the finest and most elegant neighborhoods in the Kansas City area with regrouping locations allowing for fine refreshment. The length of the journey will be no greater than ten 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. Light refreshments of tea and biscuits will be provided, and you may bring your own picnic fare to share.

Dress in your finest turn of the century era wools, tweeds, silks and argyles*. Riders, and their machines, will have the opportunity to be judged and awarded prizes based on appearance, authenticity, originality, and creativity.
