Cycling Circus "Tour de Fat" Rolls Into San Francisco

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) July 11, 2006

Grab a cruiser bike and slip into an alter-ego because New Belgiums philanthropic cycling circus Tour de Fat, is hitting the road for its sixth season. The roadshow series makes its second stop in San Francisco on Saturday, July 22, 2006, with an additional ten cities slated across the West throughout the summer.

The Tour de Fat brings together bike enthusiasts and bon vivants of every stripe in an all-out ballyhoo of bikes and beer. Costumes and decorated bikes are the rule as the participants come for a casual ride, good music and entertainment, then stay, of course, for the beer.

Amid the hoopla, Tour de Fat also raises money for local charities. The San Francisco event will raise funds for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, a local program that promotes the bicycle for everyday transportation and transforms San Franciscos heavily populated streets and neighborhoods into safer places. The event is a FUNdraiser for the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, a group that is dedicated to creating trails for walkers, bikers and runners to enjoy.

Last year, the San Francisco Tour de Fat attracted more than 1,500 Fat Tire fanatics who FUNdraised $ 3,612 for the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, and $ 1,980 for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Additionally, the Clean Cities Coalition helped the Tour manage the waste stations all day long, helping to keep 80% of the total Tour de Fat waste out of the landfills! In addition, bands play from a solar-powered stage and the entire crew travels on B100 biodiesel fuel.

Tour de Fat is a hair-raising, high-flying, death-defying show of incredible bike silliness and skill, said Chris Winn, Event Evangelist. You come out to the park, hang out with your friends, ride bikes and drink a little beer. At the end of the day, youve done your community some good just by having fun.
