Tour de Fat hits San Francisco

This past weekend, the Tour de Fat came to Golden Gate Park. It’s a free, traveling festival put on by New Belgium Brewing Company, makers of Fat Tire Beer, that celebrates bicycles, beer and sustainable living. More than 6,500 people came to show off their bikes, drink some beer and enjoy the entertainment, leaving behind only 12 pounds of trash.

All the profits from food and beer sales go to local non-profits. In this case, the recipients were the San Francisco Bike Coalition and the Bay Area Ridge Trails Council.
