Atlanta's first Tour de Fat Bike Fest
Trade a car for a bike?
Do it at Atlanta's first Tour de Fat Bike Festival in Historic Fourth Ward Park. The June 30 event includes a morning bike parade followed by a "bike & beer" festival with performances by Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Yo-Yo People, Sean Hayes, and Sssnakenstein. It's free but it's also a fundraiser for the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition.
Brewery New Belgium will trade a hand-crafted commuter bike for a car. Information on the trade is on New Belgium's Tour de Fat Facebook page. (A video submission is involved.) Parade registration is 9 a.m.
