Hear ye! Hear ye! April 14th, 2012 marks the day for the 3rd Annual Kansas City Tweed Ride! That’s right, a date has been set and we are more than excited to start finding our tweed attire! This year, we are gonna change it up a bit and move toward the Steampunk style. Basically the same as before, but a bit more spiced up. So mark down the date, reserve it and plan on attending this magnificent event and enjoy the day with the rest of us tweed heads.  For more information, check out the Kansas City Tweed Ride webpage!

We are also excited to be a part of a small group that was invited for the advanced screening of the of the new Warner Bros. Pictures production of “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”. A local agency is wanting to promote the movie and in doing so, they have invited members from the Tweed Ride. They have asked us to be in our full tweed attire along with our bikes for display during the screening. Not only do we get to see a fun thriller, but we can also raise more awareness for cycling in the community. For further details of this event, go here.

Also, don’t forget about the 2012 Kansas City Cyclists Calendar that is on sale now! It has over 100 different KC cyclists featured with their velos in this entertaining publication. If you would like a copy of this calendar, click on the photo below for more information or just ask us for one!

We are very excited to be a part of this year’s KC Cyclist Calendar for 2012 benefiting Revolve KC  (a local non-profit dedicated to providing green options in the areas of health, transportation, and skill development) and BikeWalkKC (a unified voice for active living, promoting a healthy, safe and accessible outdoor experience for all in a vibrant, engaged community)!  Thanks to our friend Caroline Smith who is organizing the photo shoot, we have signed up to dress up in our finest threads and have our mugs shot with our favorite bikes!  Last year’s calendar was a 12 month calendar featuring women in their “little black dresses” pictured in various shots with their bicycles.  This year’s calendar will be a 52 week calendar showcasing individuals, couples, young and old alike, with their cherished velos.  On September 11th we’ll be lucky enough to be participating in a photo shoot in the hopes that we can share how bicycling has positively affected our lives.  We can’t wait to share the finished product with all of you!  Printing is targeted for the month of November, and we’ll be sure to let you know where you can buy a 2012 KC Cyclists calendar…so be on the look out!  For those interested in donating or finding out more information on RevolveKC or BikeWalkKC, click on the links below:
