The Vintage Ride
This is the second year that the vintage ride has taken place in Beijing, with many more people becoming interested in vintage cycling it’s now growing to other centers in China. The idea of a vintage ride is riding vintage style bikes and wearing vintage style clothing.
It was great to see both Eastern and Western styles; from English tweed to Mao era pieces. Unfortunately at the last minute the ride itself had to be cancelled, for safety reasons as a meeting was occurring with government officials. Next time we hope that not only we can meet but also ride together. But despite this last minute cancellation we still had a fantastic fashion show with a catwalk where riders could walk down the catwalk in their vintage outfit with their vintage bikes. Judges chose the nicest vintage bikes and styles from those that participated and some great prizes were given out to the winners.
