Weekly Dose of Fat Is Moving (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

If you’ve been reading Weekly Dose of Fat for a while, you know what it is: a weekly snapshot of what’s happening right now in the fat-bike world.

• New bikes.
• Parts and such.
• Industry chatter.
• Events.
• Random weirdness we don’t want to miss.

That part isn’t changing.

What is changing is where the Weekly Dose lives.

Going forward, Weekly Dose of Fat is a subscriber-only weekly newsletter, delivered by email and published at news.fat-bike.com.

Here’s the thinking behind the move.

Weekly news doesn’t age well

Weekly Dose content is meant to be read this week. Maybe next week. After that, most of it just… expires.

Over the years, we’ve published several hundred Weekly Dose posts directly on fat-bike.com. While they were useful at the time, they eventually turn into:

• Old news no one is looking for
• Pages that don’t make sense out of context
• Extra clutter on a site that works best with evergreen content

fat-bike.com shines when it focuses on long-term stuff: bike reviews, riding stories, tech explainers, and guides you can read anytime. Weekly news just doesn’t belong in the same bucket.

So we’re separating the two.

Why it now lives on Beehiiv

The Weekly Dose now lives on Beehiiv, published at:

news.fat-bike.com

This gives us (and you) a few big wins:

• Email-first delivery, which is how weekly news should be consumed
• An audio version of the Weekly Dose
• That audio version can also be distributed as a podcast to Apple, Spotify, and other apps

That last part is key. Publishing through Beehiiv is the only way we can offer the Weekly Dose as both a newsletter anda podcast without building a bunch of custom infrastructure.

What this means for you

If you’re a subscriber:

• You still get the Weekly Dose
• You get it by email
• You can read it on news.fat-bike.com
• You can listen to it as a podcast

If you’re not subscribed:

• Weekly Dose posts will no longer appear on fat-bike.com

And that’s intentional. It keeps the main site clean and keeps Weekly Dose focused on people who actually want it week after week.

Our plan is to deliver each week’s news on Thursday evenings. Right to your inbox!
