Meet at 6pm, ride at 6:30
Ride length: 3-8 miles
Not to be confused with the TWEED ride, this ride is for the softies. And the Softies. I mean, you can wear tweed but it's probably gonna be toasty. This ride will celebrate pure perfect pop music. We'll listen to bands like Tiger Trap, The Softies, Allo Darlin', Cub, Heavenly, The Lucksmiths, and even music made in the 21st century like Slippers and Croutons. If you don't like the song, just wait three minutes and we'll move on to the next. We'll go slow, we'll meander, we'll look at pretty things and ride our bikes on a perfect summer evening. If we have time, we'll see some distant ships and do a little pining for days gone by. Okay but what's Twee? YOU DIDN'T LISTEN? Here, have a read of this 21 year old primer: https://pitchfork.com/features/article/6176-twee-as-fuck/
