For all of us Fort Collins locals, 'tis a sad Thursday without the bike-in movies. Alas, another bike-in movie season has passed, but not without an outstanding turnout for the last show, "The Big Lebowski". As some of you may know, the last film was shown in honor of Rebecca Allen, a Fort Collins cyclist who was hit and killed by a motorist this past summer. With "The Big Lebowski" being Rebecca's favorite movie, the film was added to the bike-in line up in effort to celebrate her life. Nearly 1,000 attendees, many of which were her friends and family, raised $2,001 at the door which will go toward cycling advocacy (non-profit TBA). An additional $4,152 was raised through beer sales and will go into the Rebecca Allen TV Alumni Scholarship given through Colorado State University's journalism department. It was a great season with plenty-o-bikes, beer and great flicks. Props to all those who made it happen.

If you weren't one of the thousands who participated on bike at New Belgium's Tour de Fat, then you might have been one of the 10,000 who logged onto the live stream. Thanks to our web guru – the robot pictured here – we had the entire Fort Collins Tour de Fat streaming for all to see on newbelgium.com.Read more

On September 25th, New Belgium will be host one additional Bike-in Cinema in honor of Rebecca Allen, a Fort Collins cyclist who was struck by a car while bicycling this summer. All proceeds benefit the Rebecca Allen JT Memorial Scholarship through the college of Journalism at Colorado State University. Please come celebrate Rebecca’s life and enjoy one of her favorite films, The Big Lebowski.
