A MONTH OF BIKES & BREWS.

For some reason September lays claim to hosting more bike/microbrew events than any other. Here’s hoping you live close to one of these. Cheers!

TOUR DE FAT

September 3: Fort Collins, Colorado

September 10: Denver, Colorado

September 17: San Francisco, California

September 24: San Diego, California

October 1: Tempe, Arizona

The big daddy of them all, Tour de Fat is New Belgium Brewing’s “traveling celebration of all things bicycle, honoring humankind’s greatest invention.” If you haven’t been to one of these bicycle love-fests, you can at least amuse yourself with their 10 Commandments:

  1. Put no means of transport before thy bike.
  2. Honor all other bikes. All bikes are good bikes, and all those who ride them are good people.
  3. May every generation come forth.
  4. Thou shall come as a participant not a spectator: It’s a costumed celebration of human powered transportation.
  5. Thou shalt not bring booze; But enjoy the supplied malted adult refreshments responsibly.
  6. New Belgium shalt share in the bounty of the booty: Our goal is to raise money for bicycle and environmental charities. On any other day, dressing like a freak and hanging out in the park with thine buddies might be reason for being called a Philanderer, but today thouist a Philanthropist!
  7. Remember the purpose, and bring not your pooches.
  8. Keep the day true with thy good juju: The ride is free, but we suggest a $5 donation to the good bike advocates who are putting it on for you.
  9. Thou shall rise early … once we’re full, we will handle overflow like a restaurant or bar: one in, one out.
  10. Thou shalt not steal thy neighbors’ bike.
