Tally-ho!
From cycling the streets of London dressed top-to-toe in tweed, to enjoying a wonderful evening of Shakespeare performed by talented thespian cyclists, there are some great events to be enjoyed in the UK and around the world.
Below are a selection of those we think Pashley owners would enjoy. If you have an event you would like us to share, do contact us.
London
The Tweed Run
The Tweed Run is a metropolitan bicycle ride with a bit of style. Riders take to the streets of London in their well-pressed best, and cycle through the city's iconic landmarks. Along the way, you stop for a tea break and a picnic stop, and end with a bit of a jolly knees-up!
Date: April

Anjou Velo Vintage
A superb vintage bike ride that is both unique and historic. Five different routes - ranging from 30 to 120 km - guide the cyclists between the Loire, châteaux, troglodyte caves, and vineyards. The ride starts in the heart of the historic town of Saumur, where there is a ‘Village Rétro’ to enjoy full of old-timey bicycle collectors and fanatics of vintage fashion. The day finishes with a festival of boogie-woogie jazz and swing tunes and plenty of famous Saumur bubbly!

The Traditional Cycle Shop
Our local cycle shop in Stratford-upon-Avon arranges a social ride each month, throughout the summer for Pashley (and Moulton) owners. The rides typically start at 7pm on a Thursday and involve a dozen or so sedate miles, great conversation and a pub stop!
The shop also hosts a couple of cycling related talks throughout the year. Keep an eye on their website and social channels for upcoming dates.
Dates: May – September
