This column is all about fat-bike history! Ride along with us as we check in on stuff that happened, back in THE DAY, at the beginning of the fat-bike craze! Fat-bike.com was there! Reliving the “good ol’ days” while writing these columns sure brings back good memories and reminds me that there are many more to come!
This Week in Fatbike History
The following links and commentary (with recent notes) are from the Weekly Dose of Fat published on 6-29-12! Yes, they all still work. 13 years ago and are still available on the web! Fat-biking history endures!
Let us begin…
I wrote the next paragraph back in 2012. I guess things don’t change all that much weather wise! It was in the high ’90’s for a few days last week.
“It has been a busy week of beach riding here in these parts! With the temps closing in on 100 degrees the shoreline of a large body of water can offer a significant cool down from the inland heat. If you have the opportunity, go for it!”
