Feet and Winter Cycling
A repost and article by the Professor Here is yet another article on keeping your feet warm cycling in Winter. Feet and winter cycling I spend quite a bit of time outdoors in the winter, ice climbing, back country skiing, snow shoeing, camping, hiking, and so on. I agree with Jill Homer that a soft flexible […]
Touring on a fat bike
A repost by the Professor. Here is an excellent and inspiring post on long distance touring on a Surly Pugsley. Joe Cruz says fat bikes are slower and heavier, but “they’re . . . an invitation to explore, to move a little more deliberately and confidently than one sometimes does, and to never view any part […]
More on keeping warm in the winter

It is difficult for some […]
Autumn Ride up Hobble Creek Left Fork
I’ve run up Hobble Creek left fork, and I’ve skied up it in winter, but I had never ridden up on a bike. It has warmed up here in Utah Valley the past week, and the daytime temperatures have been in the 60’s. The leaves are still turning and it is a beautiful time to […]
Rolling a Fat One
A video by Bullet Here is a short video of a nice autumn fat bike ride from this past Tuesday morning. It was shot on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail above Orem, UT. The camera was mounted on the new Trek Farley. My Surly Pugsley is out front. We’re new to this kind of videography but […]
Fat Bike as your Sole Mountain Bike
A note from the Prof. Here is a link to an excellent blog post on using a fat bike as your only mountain bike. I tend to agree that a fat bike can serve quite honorably as a bike for all seasons. Can a fat bike be your only mountain bike?
First Long Fat Ride
A ride report by the Prof. Mt. Timpanogos in the background A couple weeks ago I went on my first long ride on my Puglsey. I was in an exploratory mood. I often will take off (either trail running, hiking, or on a mountain bike), and follow a trail or what hints at a trail […]
