New Belgium Tour de Fat

July 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Hell Yeah.
That’s all I really have to say about the Tour de Fat.

I guess I’ll add, Thank You New Belgium.
Thank you for bringing your Gypsy sideshow caravan to San Francisco. Thank you for the great music, the smile on my face, and thank you for loving your bike as much as I do. The idea for New Belguim Brewery came while on a bike ride through old Europe and the idea behind the Tour de Fat is a celibration of our bikes and a lifestyle at your own pace. At the slow bike race the last person over the finish line was the winner, and the announcer reminded us that we’re never late when we’re on our bikes, because we’re right where we want to be. And to that, I say Hell Yeah.

We rode out to the beach and back to tunes emanating out of bike trailers.

    This looks brilliant! Do you know if they fancy coming to London too? Were people trying to do loops on that bike with the frame that goes over your head?
