Tour de Fat Volunteers needed

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

TDF Mainstage image
Saturday, Sept. 1st – TOUR de FAT hits the streets of Fort Collins; Once again this year the Co-op will benefit from a percentage of beer sales and sales of T-shirts and New Belgium merchandise. We still have 50 shifts to fill here. Since we trained so many Co-op volunteers last year in TIPS, we won’t be requiring new volunteers to take this training this year. If you took the training last year, please signup again this year and bring that TIPS experience to the event. Note that if you plan to ride the TDF parade there are plenty of afternoon shifts when you can help and still pedal in the parade. You can sign up for shifts at Tour de Fat here:

Volunteers receive two beverage tokens and a Tour de Fat T-shirt!!

Please try to bring a friend, Mom and Dad, or even Gramma and Grandpa – we’d love to have them help! Help the Co-op make Tour de Fat successful.

Bike to Work Day 2012

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Bike To Work Day logoJune 27th is bike to work day here in Fort Collins.  We know what many of you are thinking, “Hey Bike Co-op, isn’t every day bike to work day?”  and you’re right, but June 27th is a special bike to work day.  There will be tons of businesses with booths setup around town handing out free breakfast to cyclists.  Then after work, there are parties at a lot of the breweries in town.  You can kind of think of it as your bike commute birthday with wonderful presents.  Take a look at this years poster/map to find some stations near you.

EDIT: There is much more information over at Your Group Ride
