Hey Gomez,
an important question just arose, is there a name for a group of fat bikes? you know, like a gaggle of geese, a herd of elephants, a murder of crows. If there isn’t that might be a good question to throw up for consideration at fat-bike. let me know, there’s a bunch of people who are about ready to come to blows! okay, not really, but we’re still curious.
thank you sir!,
djonnymac

A “bloat” of fatbikes.
I say that its a federation of fat-bikes. It just rolls off the tongue, no?
A crush of fat-bikes.
A Jenny.
Like a Jenny Craig clinic, where fattys gather.
Cool idea, whatever wins we need to all start using it, may help make us socially accepted (lo)…
I’m thinking a “truck of” a “rumble of” or a “grumm of” because of the sound we make when we hit the pavement with these bad boyz.
Maybe a “float of” as they do float with a double meaning that goes along with a “parade of”
Lance
okay, I have to throw my fat bike nomenclature ideas in:
1) a “Lug” of fat bikes (a lug of Pugsleys, a lug of Mukluks etc.)
2) a “Keg” of fat bikes (somehow it just seems appropriate….)
3) a “treason” of fat bikes (I don’t know why- might be more appropriate for a group of lawyers or politicians)
A “gaggle” of fat bikes/
are we allowed more than one go ?
a “Flight” of fat bikes
I think a Pod would be a good description of a group of fat bikes. It obvioulsy refers to whales in the wild and whales are not known to be small or svelte, neither are fat bikes. Typically Pods are family groups and fat bikers are all like family (you know the crazy ones that no one admits to being related to). Also a Pod of Pugs flows easily off the tongue.
I am throwing out a “Rookery” of Fat Bikes.
Just like penguins in the cold, fat-bikers usually gather in large groups and form circles (otherwise known as snow footdown events) and or gather around fires to share each others warmth (and other cold weather appropriate tidings).

What I meant by “Fleecing” was the Urban Dictionary meaning, not the normal dictionary meaning.

A “Roll” of Fat Bikes
A gaggle of grinners
Since fat bikers seem to love inclement weather, and since the sound of our tires is a bit like approaching thunder, I say a group of fat bikes should be called a “front.” As in storm front.
Imagine gray ominous skies and the rumble of tires coming closer and closer. Yep, sounds like there’s a Front rolling in.
I am a Fan of the “Front”
Probably showing my age but what about a “Fat Pack”? or for the hipsters a Phat Pack.
