Another Iceland Fat Bike Expedition
A Repost by the Professor. Here is another cool Iceland expedition on a fat bike. More fuel for our dreams. Risk and Reward
Just get out and ride
Many of us are afraid or reluctant to pursue doing things that we would really like to do. Sometimes we are held back by our jobs, family responsibilities, finances, or just fear of the unknown. Sometimes we feel like we can’t do something because we don’t have the right equipment. Most of us will probably […]
Specialized Fatboy
A repost by the Professor. Check out some photos of the new Specialized Fatboy (scroll down), and look at those 26 X 4.6″ Ground Control Tires! It will be interesting to see how this bike compares with the rest of the fat bikes out there. Iceman Expo – Photos – Specialized’s New Ground Control Tire
A Fat Bike (and a not fat bike) Desert Ride
A repost by the Professor. This is a nice report of a ride near Canyonlands National Park in Utah by Mike Curiak (the guy who owned that amazing Moots expedition fat bike).

I agree with Jill Homer that a soft flexible […]
Touring on a fat bike

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
A repost by the Professor. The All Season Cyclist is currently doing a series of posts on staying warm cycling through the winter. He has articles on a variety of topics, such as keeping your head, feet, and hands warm. He has a great deal of experience winter riding and has probably used more equipment […]
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?
