Sure is good seeing folks that are keeping the craft alive. Did any of our London members take part?

Fantastic! I'd love to do that sometime.

It's a strap to keep his tweed from tangling in the bike chain.

You'll notice in a lot of the other pictures that guys have their socks pulled up to the knees over the pants for the same reason. And others have just rolled up their pants to mid-calf.

As an adult who rides the subway, how'd you know?

When I lived in a place more amenable to it, I rode a bike to work almost every day in season.

Just a joke. Was referring to this old post:

Yeah, you could wear wool knickers.

Or you could, you know, take the train. And dress like a grown up.

When I was in San Francisco and rented a bike, I was also given a big rubber band for the pant legs.

It's a dorky item but quite functional. It's amazing nobody has come up with a more stylish alternative.

Ah, see. I had totally forgotten about that bit of snark.

I think about it every time I don my knickers (tweed). Scarred for life.
