Do you want to be a car swapper?
Who hasn't been riding their bicycle to work thinking to themselves "By jeepers, this bike riding stuff is great, I should shed the extra burdons of my auto-mobile and do this everyday! I could have the freedom that comes with a car-free existence, and finally live the bicycling dream." Well now is your chance. The Tour de Fat is looking for a few (eleven, actually) valiant souls ready to make the car-less commitment.
In every city we stop in this summer-time we will be looking to trade a beautiful Black Sheep commuter, all set up with the rack and fenders you would need to get your commuting done everyday of the year. All we need in return: your car. You will sign the title over to your local non-profit on stage at your Tour de Fat, and in doing so, make a real commitment to riding your bicycle, and inspiring others to do the same. Here's the scoop: make something awesome; a video, two minutes or less, detailing, outlining, celebrating your desire to be car free. Tell us why (and by why I mean capitol "W" Why) you want to be all-bike. Then, go to our Facebook page, click on "EVENTS", and then on your choice of city, following all that- upload your video...VIOLA!, you're entered. Not a member of the Facebook? Don't fret, we have a solution for you too; email your awe-inducing video to Zach (my loving and ever so fair-minded boss) at zlevis@newbelgium.com and he will do the rest.
For all the information (if you didn't follow my links) head to www.newbelgium.com/tour-de-fat for every bit of pertinant information.
LET THE FILMING COMMENCE!

I love what you guys are
I love what you guys are doing... the BIG push for Bicycle Power!! BUT I have an inquiry: How come the good ole folks in California CAN NOT apply for the bike give-awayz?? I tried to apply but there is no option for California when typing in your address/info. I live in the San Fernando Valley and commute everyday, in my 71' Bug, to work... AND believe me at the speed I go, your cruisers will do circles around me?! The best part about my job is that I work with kids!! If we can open the minds of our youngsters on how to be environmentally conscience, we are winning the battle in the long term. My kids love my Bug, but how awesome would it be to show up on a bike on a day to day basis and have the opportunity to explain to them why?
Thanks for your time. Hope you are all doing well.

Hey ! I like the idea: my car is is France and therefore quite close to Belgium. Can I apply for your deal to trade it against a bicycle? Cheers,
