Hello Bikies! Have you been thinking about dumping your car for a bike? One lucky person will be able to swap their car for a sweet custom commuter bike at The Tour de Fat this Saturday in Milwaukee. The Tour de Fat is an incredible festival of bikes, beer, and performance art unlike anything you've ever seen! See below for more info on the trade.
Thanks, Kevin ------------------------ *** Young and fast handmade Commuter Bike seeks long-term relationship with CAR-for-BIKE TRADER *** The bike is *sweet* and the lifestyle can't be beat. You got the gumption, let's talk about a trade. Details at: http://www.newbelgium.com/ events/tour-de-fat.aspx<http://www.newbelgium.com/events/tour-de-fat.aspx> email: [email protected]. A highlight of Tour de Fat is the annual car-for-bike swap. At each Tour de Fat stop, one person will hand over his or her car keys and commit to one year of living car-free. Tour de Fat is now seeking volunteers to accept the swapper challenge*.* Each car-for-bike swapper will receive a hand-built Black Sheep <http://www.blacksheepbikes.com/> commuter bike in return for their car. Volunteers are chosen after submitting an application describing their desire to live sans-car. To submit, go to the New Belgium Tour de Fat Facebook page <http://www.facebook.com/TourDeFat>, click on events and your city of choice, and upload your application in one of three formats: video (two minutes or less, please), photo or the written word. “The car-for-bike swap epitomizes Tour de Fat, wherein one brave soul makes the commitment to live car-free while inspiring others to think about driving alternatives,” said Bryan Simpson, spokesman for New Belgium. “We’re building a network of folks who originally said they’d leave their car behind for a year, but are still living car-free today.” -- *Kevin Luecke** *Lead Planner, Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin www.bfw.org | 608-251-4456
