"Tweed Run Tokyo 2017," an event where participants can enjoy cycling around town in tweed, will be held in Tokyo on October 22nd. "Tweed Run Bishu Nagoya 2017" will be held in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, on November 18th.

Bicycles are booming due to their eco-friendly, health, and fashionable appeal. However, traffic violations and illegally modified bicycles have become social issues. This event aims to promote safe cycling while also sharing the joy of cycling around town. In keeping with the London concept, the dress code will be "tweed." By promoting cycling as a fashion scene, the event will also revitalize the fashion industry.

The dress code for this event is tweed items, including jackets, pants, vests, and hats. Participants must be 18 years of age or older (and must present identification), regularly cycle (become accustomed to cycling around town), and have a bike that has not been illegally modified. The participation fee is 5,000 yen and includes an original tweed armband, pants strap, spoke card, and admission to the tea party on the day.

The entry period for "Tweed Run Tokyo 2017" is until September 15th, and entries for "Tweed Run Bishu・Nagoya 2017" are scheduled to begin in October.
