Tour de Fat
Golden Gate Park
July 19, 2008
Notes and Photos by Ariel Soto
There was ample parking at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park this Saturday, but that didn't mean there wasn't a festival going on. It was Tour de Fat and modern day hippies swapped VW vans for shiny spokes and groovy handle bars and showed up ready to drink beer, listen to music and be part of the ring of wild rides that included a bike with shoes for wheels.
People danced to the tunes of a wonderful folksy seven-man band called "Paper Bird" that wooed the audience with their mellow yet danceable tunes, all of which seemed to contain some reference to a flying feathered friend.
Although it was quite foggy for the day's event, there was no dark cloud over the festivities and everyone seemed to be riding easy on life, feeling buoyant and healthy, perhaps due to the adrenaline gained from biking over to the event.
