  3. 13 years ago, New Belgium Brewing Company had an idea for an event that would thank and continue to support all the cyclists that had been loyal consumers of our beer. The idea was to throw a party. What began as two folks driving around the country randomly landing in a local park with kegs of beer in the back and bicycles mounted to the top, has evolved into a traveling 15 city bicycle carnival. After our first show this year in Nashville, Tennessee the Tour de Fat has raised over $2 Million for bicycle-related non-profits across the country. Raising over $400,000 in 2011 alone, with one show left next week in Austin, Texas and thanks to the addition of shows in Washington, DC and Atlanta, Georgia we are projected to raise over $500,000 in 2012.
