The Europeans are at it again with their smarty-pants ideas about getting around car-free. On Sunday, Paris launched a huge new bike-sharing scheme, putting 10,600 bikes into circulation around the city. Now Parisians and tourists can Le Tour around the famous city car-free.
Way to go, Paris.
Second on the list: Beer and Bikes.
My favorite hometown brewery, New Belgium Brewery (makers of the famous Fat Tire), have a wicked fun new website (http://www.folllowyourfolly.com/).
Who said that dioramas were passe? Not me.
Well, New Belgium is looking for a few good riders to take up the very same mission that yours truly embarked on last year. Give up your car for a year. Get a new bike.
In exchange, New Belgium might give you a shiny New Belgium original bike. If they don't, drink their beer anyway. It's tasty. (If you can get it, that is. I can't. They don't distribute here. Sigh. Stupid quality control and microbrewery local principles. I will just have to satisfy myself with Dogfish Head until a trip home.)
So anyway, if you live in any of the following cities, then go here to put your hat in the ring:
Denver
Truckee
Seattle
Portland, OR
Boise
Missoula
Durango
Ft. Collins
Flagstaff
Tempe
Austin
