A successful Tour de France cyclist relies on a diet of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, which is why each team’s support vehicle carries squeeze bottles full of bacon cheeseburgers. Enjoy the finest in sports nutrition with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of burgers, drinks, and more at Spin Burger Bar.

Spin Burger Bar, a bicycle-themed eatery, sates carbo-carnivorous cravings with a bevy of specialty burgers. Adventurous appetites can strike out for uncharted gustatory territories with the corned beef burger served Reuben style on rye ($7.25), the ostrich burger saddled with roasted red peppers and pesto goat cheese ($7.95), or the mango curry sauce-soaked lamb and hot italian sausage burger buried beneath brie ($7.25). Accompany taste buds on a stroll through the garden burger, a homemade veggie patty dressed to the nines in sriracha ranch, pickled relish, and jack cheese ($7.25). Pub patrons can accessorize burgers with inventive accouterments, including a fried egg, pastrami, or a tasteful monocle and top hat combo ($1–$1.50 each), or sauces such as pomegranate ketchup, salsa verde mayonnaise, and tzatziki ($0.50 each).

Join cycle-centric friends for Spin Burger Bar’s free Gold Sprint stationary bike races on Wednesday nights. Fast legs let loose a fury of pedal pumping in head-to-head competition for prizes, bragging rights, and the curious approval of a silently nodding father-in-law.

As of 7/14/11, Spin Burger Bar has closed. Groupons are being accepted at the following restaurants: Bistro 33's three locations (Davis, El Dorado Hills, and Rocklin), 33rd Street Bistro in Sacramento, Suzie Burger in Sacramento, and Riverside Clubhouse in Sacramento.
