Due to the Boulder Sunset Triathlon, I was not able to make it out to the majority of the annual Tour de Fat. But I was able to roll over to Old Town on my Huffy Cranbrook cruiser for an hour in the mid-afternoon where there were still plenty of folks frolicking about in fancy outfits and enough colors to make a rainbow flag.
Judging from my photos, I’d say cruisers ruled the day. Next year I’d like to dress up my bike. I have a whole year to think of what.

Not sure what was more impressive: the bicycle or that the owner came up a way to attach it to his vehicle!
