Scores of well-met journeymen and women gathered yesterday in the northeast of the Capital city for an expedition to celebrate the latest in fashion, industry and whimsy. This peregrination saw fashionable fellows and dandizettes tour the city by bi-cycle and fixed-gear machine. A good time was had by all!

Some 200 riders gathered at H Street in the Northeast for an Indian-summer afternoon traipse through the city. Volunteer mechanical engineers were on hand to help riders address problems with their technology, while artisan Steven Cummings made nouveau cabinet cards of registrants to celebrate the occasion. The lines for these photographic images were long in anticipation of the citywide tramp.

Borrowing from parallel events in Baghdad-by-the-Bay and London Town (as well as any given Saturday in the borough of Brooklyn), rally founder Eric Brewer set the schedule for the event: ride before soiree, whimsy throughout.
