Tour de Fat: ride yr bikes and enjoy solar- and biodiesel-powered fun
Tomorrow, the Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco will see a high-spirited combination of drinking and two-wheeled joy. The annual "ballyhoo of bikes & beer" event is sponsored by the New Belgium Brewing Company, makers of Fat Tire beer, and it sounds like a fine time. How can you pass up "fire-jumping bike acts, cycling games, cruiser bike parade, live music, tasty eats and great beer"? Most of the event is even free, and proceeds form beer sales go to local nonprofits the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and the Bay Area Ridge Trails Council.
The organizers don't just want to promote bikes and a good time, but have made sure that the festival is totally self-sustainable because it's all powered by solar or B100 biodiesel. Click here or here for more info.
