Tour de Froth

Cyclists are snobby enough. With their commitment to fitness and knowledge that their chosen mode of transport didn't contribute to any wars in the Middle East, bikers are hard-core idealists, risking life and limb for a chance to get there on two man-powered wheels. So it's fitting they also demand...

Cyclists are snobby enough. With their commitment to fitness and knowledge that their chosen mode of transport didn't contribute to any wars in the Middle East, bikers are hard-core idealists, risking life and limb for a chance to get there on two man-powered wheels. So it's fitting they also demand quality brew, which makes this Saturday's Beer Snob Bicycle Pub Crawl such a perfect union of pastimes.

Beginning at 4 p.m. at Zeke's Roadhouse, the crawl continues to the Abbey and the DRB (via the Venetian Causeway) and then finishes at Titanic Brewery (via the M-Path). Thankfully, the crawl ends near the University of Miami Metrorail station, so if you're too drunk to steer, climb aboard for a free ride back north. The Miami Bike Scene organizers recommend bringing a bike, a bike lock, and a light to illuminate your swerving way home. Come imbibe in microbrews while dreaming of car-free zones. Safety first!
