While I like their beers, New Belgium is pretty bike crazy. Based on some of the bike events I've seen in San Jose and the hostility and stupidity of some of the peddlers, I'm not looking forward to this in my area.

We have been to it the last two years here in Tempe. It is a fun time and everyone is pretty laid back. Basically everyone rides in, parks the bikes and drinks all afternoon.

Freakin' peddlers -- chiseling shopkeeps, gypsies and ne'er-do-wells, the lot of 'em.
I tend to hang out instead with pedalers and other two-wheeled folk. Not necessarily more trustworthy, but generally a whole lot more fun.

i like the idea of this.
seems like it's bordering on hippyfest, but i still like it.
they should also point out that you could possibly lose your dreivers lic if you are pulled over while drunk on a bicycle.

The Tour de Fat sounds like a blast! I bet it is a great time.
The other posters were probably referring to the "Critical Mass" riders, who comprise a group of cyclists that celebrate their passive-aggressive nature by snarling up traffic on the last Friday of the month.

it was also to raise awareness that there are a ton of cyclists so people need to start treating them better instead of treating them like they weren't there or it didn't matter when they didn't check traffic before they pulled out or opened a door.

There's a big difference between bike behaviors during Critical Mass and Tour de Fat.
