About Josh Spice

I live in Fairbanks, Alaska, and am co-owner of Far North Fatbikes, the only fatbike rental business in Interior & Northern Alaska (www.FarNorthFatbikes.com). I ride my single-speed fatbike year-round in Alaska, for both recreation and commuting. My passion lies in getting technical with gear & techniques and traveling to cool places to sleep outside. Check out my personal website at www.joshspice.com for more info, photos, & video.
