Announcing the third annual Royal Hawaiian Tweed Ride and bicycle picnic in Honolulu. Dash the pushy competition of modern cycling events! Join together for an ambulation through Honolulu with tip-of-the-hat manners and the camaraderie of pedaling with fellow cyclists, concluding at a select tea room within Ala Wai Community Park.
I say chaps and chapettes! This is not a race but a casual gathering and an unsupported ride (riding at your own risk). The assembly point at The Manifest, is a bicycle friendly establishment and has beverages available for purchase. Tea at Ala Wai Community Park will be provided by the ride. Please bring your own tea cup, saucer, and a spoon if you require one. Feel free to bring your own picnicables for nibbling at the end of the ride.
