831st Annual Tour de Cowtown

Now that was good times.

On Saturday, urban core bicycle shop Acme Bicycle Company hosted the 831st Annual Tour de Cowtown

This bike shop promotes grassroots cycling advocacy, bikes for transportation, vintage bicycles, handbuilt frames, fixies and riding in the city. Basically, everything that is right with the world. Their event was an interesting mix of all types of people and all kinds of bikes, some goofier than others. The scavenger hunt sent us all over town in search of trivia answers, take out menus, hotel matchbooks and road construction cones, among other things.

This shop is the real deal. A little rough around the edges and a bit gritty, yeah, but awesome. Despite feeling slow and under the weather, I had a blast at their event.
