Goodwill a few days ago!
In case it has slipped your mind, don’t forget that this Saturday is Portland’s first-ever Tweed Ride. To guide you to utmost enjoyment of this affair, graphic artist, freak bike maker, and volunteer Tweed Ride promoter Gabriel Amadeus recently offered these pointers:
- There are no dress or bike requirements. Show up in spandex, I don’t care. Yes you will probably be mocked.
- Riders are encouraged to bring food, beverages, and merriment for sharing.
- Tea and Crumpets will be provided by Black Sheep Bakery at a midpoint.
- Adam Arnold will be judging the fashion show!
- We’ll have cheap New Belgium beer for sale post ride at Backspace with proceeds benefiting Mercy Corps.
- Les Triplettes de Belleville will be shown following the ride.

After all this goes down there will be a great show at Backspace later in the Eve.
Tha brilliant Leb Borgeson’s solo act Quiet Countries will be playing, always a pleasure.
Fighting a cold but can’t miss the chance to dress my family in tweed and corduroy and look like a proper british gent. See you therre.
I got my tweed jacket and pants at Value Village for $6.89!
I hope the weather cooperates, but hey, who doesn’t carry a waxed cotton rain cape with them?
Must I eat a frog?
Is your bow-tie supposed to match your bartape or your socks?
What a conundrum.
Please let’s do this ride again!
