You've never seen biking with style until you've experienced "Tour de Fat"! It's a crazy event where everyone shows up with crazy costumes/modified bikes and tour through the city.
New Belgium Brewery has launched an interactive online blog for its 15,000 Team Wonderbike members, who pledge to bike instead of drive as often as possible - assuming, of course, they don't do either after tossing back a couple of Fat Tires. The brewery released its list of top 10 Marvelous Reasons Why Our Employees Love to Ride. See more reasons at teamwonderbike.com/blog.

A bicycle needn't be all about going places. These chic, retro-styled statement cycles combine utility with luxurious good looks.
The Sogreni Classic is handmade in Denmark and weighs a mere 10 kilos. The entire bike is coated in a Sogreni secret-formula matte treatment, giving the bike a beautiful color and ultimate rust protection (€1,450; sogreni.dk).
To stow and go, the French luxury trunk craftsman Pinel & Pinel has designed a handmade leather trunk for carrying a foldable Brompton bike, which is included and can be collapsed in 10 to 20 seconds. Customers can choose from 51 colors of leather for the outside casing and inside lining, ranging from luxurious crème and candy-apple red to lime green and lavender (€6,000; pineletpinel.com).
But leading the pack in true vintage style is the Velorbis Scrap Deluxe. This silver attention-getter comes with blond balloon tires. Its mustache-shaped handlebars and luxury leather grips and saddle are designed for utmost comfort and posture alignment (€899; velorbis.com). Now don't skimp on the bike lock.
