The Tour de Fat bicycle festival, sponsored by New Belgium Brewery, took place at Gasworks Park today. Naturally we bicycled over to see what it was all about. On the way, two guys in a pickup pulled up next to us and rolled down the window. Uh oh, we thought. "Hey, nice bike!" they yelled. "And nice shirt!" (We were wearing the cream of our Hawaiian shirt collection.) They gave us a thumbs up. Then......

DEAD BABY BIKE RACE: The mission statement up for consideration at the Dead Baby Bike Club is: "We just want to ride our bikes and not get hassled by the man." The Dead Babies, a hard-drinking, semi-organized band of bicylists, are holding their annual few-holds-barred bicycle race across the city tonight; it will be a madcap sight to behold. Make sense of their website if you dare; pre-reg is at 5 p.m., and the......

In the wake of a brutal tussle between car and bicycle last weekend, it's good that New Belgium Brewing's Tour de Fat, the "traveling celebration of all things bicycle," arrives in town on Saturday, opposite the carbon-spewing, combustion engine worship-fest that is Seafair, what with the supersonic jets and souped-up motorboats. So for those who favor pedal-power over horsepower, you can show up at Gas Works Park at 9 a.m. to register yourself and your......

Keeping with our three-day-old, all-bike-news, all-the-time theme, we see the Seattle P-I has a story about bike racks filling up all over Seattle. The city is installing 300 new bike racks per year (toward a goal of doubling availability by 2017), so if you want one, ask for one. The racks outside Liberty and Hopvine on 15th are often three bikes deep these fine summer days, and the racks outside Madison Market should come with......

WATCH THE TOUR DE FRANCE: The Cascade Bicycle Club presents its annual Cyclefest. There's something for everyone--races for those who like to watch, a bike decorating station for those who like to do, and a lot of people in spandex for those who like to drool. After the sun goes down, watch the 17th stage of the Tour de France (that's the part where they race up the Alps. The Alps!) on a big screen.......

Thrilled with our ongoing summer weather, wanting to take advantage of it while we can, Seattlest hopped on the bike on Saturday and headed downtown. We haven't given nearly enough face time to Olympic Sculpture Park since it was pulled together, so that was our real destination. We had a book in our sack, and intended to just lie in the warm grass and read. Of course, once we got biking, we couldn't stop ourselves.......

HUGE AMOUNTS OF CHEESE: The Cheese Festival is upon us! This is one of our top three favorite events of the year (#2: our birthday, #3: Christmas). Several reasons: a city block full of cheese, friendly vendors, wholesale prices on bottles in the wine garden (don't buy the red wine that says "bacon" three times in its description, we made that mistake last year), and (it bears repeating) a city block full of cheese. 10......

"Norton at the Record Store" by seattlerealtorgal We've been sweet on square format photographs lately, but what really got us about this one was the brilliant splash of color—such fabulous colors in our beloved Georgetown to rival the colors in any other neighborhood. Show us your colors in the Seattlest Flickr pool. Thanks!......
