Tour de Fat

  While driving home, I came upon this in front of my house. Literally thousands of people riding their bikes, dressed up in the coolest and wildest costumes. From triple seater bikes to double deckers, there was a non-stop stream of riders so we couldn't turn into our driveway. It was the Tour de Fat, where everyone was riding to the city lake to get beer for Oktoberfest.

It was so cool to see the city come together and ride in style. There was laughing and cheering, a girl was even throwing out cookies as she pasted us. So many people were joined together just like a community. Their spirits was contagious and the sites mesmerizing as each person rode by, each dressed differently than the last for the yearly festival. It went on for over a half hour so we finally had to turn around and go another route since all of the streets were blocked off. People were as one, hanging out and accepting of whoever you were. It was a sight and makes me love the city I live in even more.
