Thanks New Belgium and Tour De Fat
Thanks to New Belgium and Tour de Fat for coming into Atlanta. SoPo had a great time as we are sure Atlanta did too. We are glad that Tour de Fat came during Bike Month and the weather was so much cooler than last year. Atlanta was the first stop this year, good luck for the rest of the tour. Looking forward to next year.

With a little bit of looking among SoPo’s tires, I found a pair for the bike. The tires were needed and SoPo provided. Soon the bike will be part of a Charity Bikes donation; getting more people on the road who have taken a bike safety and a basic bike maintenance classes.
