This month, Ralph Lauren's Rugby division will unveil a $2,200 limited-edition men's two-speed leather-saddled "roadster" bicycle and accompanying line of tweed cycling clothes, the fashion house's interpretation of what sporting men and women might have worn before World War II.

The fashion house plans a Tweed Run on Saturday in New York to pitch the new line. It is patterned after an annual 10-mile recreational bike ride by the same name through London that is a favorite of enthusiasts of vintage bicycles and clothing.
