West Town BikesThank you to all of the volunteers and attendees who made the Tour de Fat a successful event! The wild and wooly New Belgium Brewing Co. bike festival and freak show known as Tour De Fat was in Chicago June 21st to benefit West Town Bikes!
The makers of Fat Tire beer added Chicago in the eighth year that the cycling circus is touring the western US. Festival goers dressed in costume and decorated their most fun bikes in an opening parade. Musical entertainment featured our good friends Mucca Pazza While partying might be one theme of the bike fest, at its heart it celebrates the bicycle, informs how to reduce our waste stream, encourages people to ride bikes to work and for errands, and raises money for West Town Bikes. So thanks again for joining us in Palmer Square for such a fantastic fun time! To find out more about the tour check out these links:
