A New Belgium-powered bike ride across America
By Tim Cigelske • Jun 16th, 2009 • Category: In the news
Ryan Van Duzer believes that if he rides a three speed bike across America, “more people can ride to the grocery store.”
Duzer is currently riding a New Belgium cruiser from San Diego to DC, and the Colorado brewery is sponsoring his journey.
“New Belgium gave me a cruiser last year and I jokingly said that I’ll ride it across America, and they took me seriously,” he told elephant journal. “This ride fits in perfectly with their eco-minded mission. Oh, and they make good beer.”
If that wasn’t a challenge enough, he’ll be hauling a keg of New Belgium along with him. Wow.
“I’ll be pulling a pony keg of Mothership Wit, a nice wheaty organic beer that has been proven to be more effective than any other energy drink on the market!” he told elephant journal.
If you see him on the road, the least you can do is buy him a pint. Just like his grandma did during his ride from Maine to Key West.
