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 fatbiking! Fat-bike.com was there! Reliving the “good ol’ days” 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
8-31-12! Yes, after culling the herd, they all still work. 13 years ago and are still available on the web! Fat-biking history endures!
Here are Fat-bike Stories We Found Interesting This Week in 2012
Just like the week of 8-31-12, we are headed out for a Full Moon Beach Ride in Port Washington. Sadly, one of our riding buddies passed away since then but we will have a toast for him! Also, the shop in Port Washington that supplied many in the area with fat-bikes no longer exists. RIP Zuzu Pedals. We keep soldiering on!
