Tour de Fat: Bikers, Buffoonery & Beer

Once again, our good friend Joe Newton convinced us to suit up for New Belgium Brewery's Tour de Fat. Once again, we found ourselves in ridiculous costumes wheezing uphill on 50lb cruiser bikes. Last year's Evel Kneival costumes were slightly more elaborate; nevertheless, this year's Hells Angels theme better captures our mutual respect for the Canadian tuxedo. (Head-to-toe denim)

To sum it up, Joe won the slow race, the Sprockets bike dancing group performed, and we all shared a cold day in Speedway Meadows.

Hey, We're Not Boring Anymore!!! Really!!!

After a long dry spell, we embarked on a random act of buffoonery at Saturday's Tour de Fat bike and beer event in Golden Gate Park. Sponsored by New Belgium Brewery (makers of Fat Tire beer) we met up with friends, caught a bicycle burlesque show, squared our age-old rivalry with the carnie caravan and tore some knee cartilage while hauling ass up a bunch of big hills. With proceeds benefitting the SF Bike Coalition, how could you not zip on a one-piece? Thanks to Joe and Jane for a stellar costume design and sweatshop party. With any luck, we'll join the likes of Kanye West and Evel Kneivel will sue us. I freaking love Kanye.
