Into the Madding Crowd – Eras Collide at the Triangle Tweed Ride

TriangleTweed-4298

A year ago, a friend of mine posted on Facebook some of his photos from the 2012 Triangle Tweed Ride, an annual celebration of clothing, styles, and bikes from a bygone era, and part of the larger Oaks and Spokes bicycle festival. Set in Raleigh’s historic City Market, argyles, plaids, and spectacles mingle with iPhones, sleek carbon fiber street bikes, and digital cameras. Having seen his photos, I knew I had to get in on the action and get some photos of this mash-up of old and new, a celebration of two-wheeled vehicular transportation and all things tweed.

If you come across this blog and find yourself in the photos, please feel free to right-click save the thumbnail and share on whatever flavor of social media you like best. If you are interested in ordering a print, either with this vintage styling or in full, 21st century digital color, simply click on a photo and use the drop down box to add whatever size you’d like to your shopping cart. Because of the vintage feel of these photos, I can also offer (for $20 each) custom-printed, 4×6 photos on hand torn Hahnemuele cotton rag paper–sort of a more unique memento, in keeping with the spirit of the event.
