New Use for Old Kilt Hose

[way2fractious]

Some bicycle clubs put on "Tweed Rides" where the cyclists dress in vintage attire for leisurely journeys between cafes or pubs.

Now we're talking about MY kind of riding!!! Not quite up to the caloric output standards needed for lycra shorts and jersey... unless the lycra ensemble is done up in tartan.

Then again, what cyclist among us doesn't have the Harris Tweed jacket, the hose, and the trousers to be altered?

The only REAL problem I see with following Jamie's example with a full charge of panache is, Who has a vintage bike? With platform pedals?

I've been wanting one of these for many years. It's a vintage WWII Swiss messenger bicycle that would fit the style very well. I've also seen them with a leather message pouch that fits inside the frame between the rider's legs, although that would be simple enough to make from scratch if the bike came without it. The rack on the back of the bike would be easy enough to mount a basket or crate onto as well.

Tobus,

I thought a leather tool pouch would would be a nice (and practical) touch for the bicycle. I will have to look at my leather scraps and see what I can make.

Cheers
