The stars are aligning for something really special this year. Something reallyIt’s a weekend you do NOT want to miss. It’s a massive celebration of bicycling.

Make sure you register early to claim your FREE t-shirt and then on Bike to Work Day stop by your local pit stop on your bike commute to work for to get your t-shirt, free snacks, and other bike goodies.

Tour de Fat brings The Really Big Bike Weekend into full swing with a FREE bicycle festival at Yards Park in Washington, DC on Saturday. RSVP for the Tour de Fat here. YOU WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN. It’s the biggest, craziest, wackiest, and most fabulous bicycle themed party ever, that also raises a ton of support for WABA and other bicycle non-profits in the region. The Tour de Fat is hosted and sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company and features really good craft brews, a parade-style bike ride, live entertainment, family friendly activities, food trucks, and people dressed in really amazing costumes. Don’t miss: lounging in the sun drinking great craft beer (that only cost five bucks), getting to dress up in weird clothes in the middle of the summer, really good entertainment. PLUS!
