Blog Find: Riding Pretty

With such a fuss over the impending nuptials of Ms. Middleton and Mr. Wales, what a perfect week to revel in all things Britannia (even if you aren't going to wake up and watch the spectacle). Riding Pretty, a blog devoted to bicycle chic, gives us a fair share of English-inspired eye candy including documenting the rise of the Tweed Run both in London and abroad. With cycling citizens dressing up in their plus fours and flat caps to roam through their cities and stop for proper tea, this is one British craze that is worth the hullabaloo.
