Hungry Cyclists Line Up for Tour De Taco

Two wheels, six trucks, countless tasty tacos

Bay Area taco lovers are taking to two wheels this weekend for a unique tasting tour.

Oaklandish Tour De Taco combines a love of the handheld meal with bicycling for a tasty day of taste testing at some Oakland's best taco trucks.

Cyrus Farivar of californiatacotrucks.com is hosting the event, which takes hungry cyclists to half a dozen taco trucks in the Oakland.

The taco tour took off from the Fruitvale BART station at 11 a.m. The trip is free but cyclists were advised to take about $10-$20 for the eats. The group has a Facebook page to sign up for the tour.
