Tour de Fat Rolls into Town

Tour de Fat, the annual New Belgium bicycle celebration commenced on September 6th at the New Belgium Brewery. Thousands of people made the pilgrimage to the Mothership to pay homage to the “greatest invention on earth” – the bicycle. Local bicycle advocacy groups benefit from the annual tradition. Their biggest fundraiser of the year, it is used to improve and maintain trails and infrastructure in our cities and parks and to encourage safe cycling in our communities.

Environmental and sustainability causes also benefit from the one-day festival. To date, New Belgium has helped raise over $800,000 for these groups. It seemed that everyone came out for the parade. Some dressed up for the occasion in special costume, while others donned their street clothes and an enthusiastic smile. All were welcomed and accepted by fellow paraders as well as on-lookers. The real treat was the variety of bicycles that came out for Tour de Fat. There were couch bicycles, side-by-side tandems, tricycles, and so many more! There was no limit to the imagination.

Tour de Fat Route

The route chosen for the Tour de Fat parade gave a tour of some of the most historical and beautiful areas of Fort Collins. It paraded through Old Town down West Mountain Avenue to City Park and back to the New Belgium Brewery, where beer and food awaited the masses. The Fort Collins Tour de Fat is the largest in the country, and it gets bigger each year. It started as an expression of the celebration of the bicycle.

New Belgium Brewery encourages people in Fort Collins and around the country to ride their bicycle as an economical and sustainable way of transportation. With the inception of Team Wonderbike, they are converting thousands of people each year to leave their car at home and pedal their way to their destination. In their mission, they choose one person from each Tour de Fat city to give up their car for a new bicycle, which they will ride for one year. In their year-long journey, they will document their experiences for the Tour de Fat in the ultimate expression of “Follow Your Folly”.

In conclusion, with an unstable economy and rising gas prices, the celebration of the bicycle is a needed relief and the perfect solution. Generating excitement about the most efficient vehicle on earth is just what we need to create a community based on sustainability.

1. Where to go

The lead-up to festivities starts early Saturday, with ride registration taking place at 9 a.m. (the ride itself starts one hour later near the intersection of Maple and Meldrum Streets). From then, the main stage includes a fashion showdown, The Bike is Right! game show, a car-for-bike trade and live music. For a full schedule, v isit newbelgium.com/events/tour-de-fat/Fort-Collins . Find a map of the route at the bottom of the story.

2. Who's playing

Main stage acts at this year's Tour de Fat include the seven-piece Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, singer-songwriter Ben Sollee, and husband-and-wife duo The Kolars. The Main Stage will also have American Sign Language interpreter Steven Hardy-Braz signing along with the day's music and events.

4. Where your money will go

All donations and proceeds from beer and merchandise sales go to area non-profits. This years non-profit partners include Overland Mountain Bike Club, Bike Fort Collins and Fort Collins Bike Co-op.

BIKES:  Custom bikes large part of Fort Collins culture

5. What about the kids (and Fido)? 

While New Belgium admits some Tour de Fat costumes may "spark a conversation or two" with the kiddos, they will provide a family-friendly "Kid's Area 51" area that will include a jungle gym, little bikes and children's games. While kids are welcome, Tour de Fat goers are discouraged from bringing dogs to the annual festival, citing how hot and crowded it might get for pooches.
