Tweed me up scotty

You know those days when the world seems so screwed up that all you want to do is scream ‘Stop this freakin ride i want to get off!”. The days when human behaviour is so confounding that the only solace you can find is at the bottom of a bottle and Side 1 of Dylan’s Desire played REALLY LOUD on vinyl? (kicking in at Isis cause nothing kicks in better). The days when you feel you’ve been born too late? Well guess what? You CAN TURN BACK TIME. Maybe not soon enough to prevent the end of civilisation, but you can certainly give it a nudge. The Bicycle Film Festival is oh so happy to be staging Melbourne’s FIRST EVER Tweed Ride. It happens all over the world and now it’s gonna happen here too. All you have to do is get dressed up in old style clothing and ride a bike around town. It happens on Sunday 29 November, 12pm meeting at the State Library. We even did a little preparatory Tweed Photo shoot to get you all in the time-travelling mood. The ride will finish at the B.est F.riends F.orever Street Party in Collingwood - the most fun your bike will have all year. See you there.
