Life shouldn’t be “totally serious” – Tour De Fat – Fat Tire Beer

At approximately 12:00 noon, I finished up my Iyengar yoga class at Satori Yoga Studio and slipped into my Fat Tire Spandex. Then ..I raced off to the Speedway Meadow – Golden Gate Park, S.F. CA. for a rolling bike parade through the park, sponsored by the Bay Guardian and the SFBC. Cyclist (from all walks of the earth) decorated their bikes . . bodies …booties …and friend’s bike.

Contest categories included…

Vintage Cruiser… in rideable condition, of course!
Best Rider Costume.
Best Decorated Bike
Most Original Mutant/Frankenstien/Art bike…again, rideable!

Well . . . I missed the parade! Yet, I waited patiently. And then ..there he was … Fat tire beer sponsor … Brew Meister, Jamie Mastin! (check out that bike!).

After speaking with Jamie, I wandered around to check out the New Belgium Portfolio of beers. And then, I listened to the sound check of Denver Colorado’s own Devotchka and local favorite, Samantha (without “The Ritual”). And although, I didn’t hear their performance, I knew that The Yard Dogs Roadshow would “take the cake.” . . . .. …. .. ..One sexy bunch of people!

All proceeds from the Fat Tire beer sales benefitted the San Francisco Bike Coalition, and The Bay Area Ridge Trail Council.

The San Francisco Bike Coalition has gained national recognition as one of the country’s most effective bicycle advocacy organizations. The mission of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is to transform San Francisco’s streets and neighborhoods into more livable and safe places by promoting the bicycle for everyday transportation.
