Winter in the UK, the time were riding seems to be a wet affair. However, with spring showing its face one Saturday late in March I thought I’d hatch a plan. Now I’ve took in this route at the start of the ride a few times before. Starting at 1,200 feet I made my way […]

People love to complain about the weather and the last couple of winter’s around the midsection of the Great Lakes have been pretty shy on sustainable snow-pack.

It is kind of funny, last year/season we saw a flood of similar “me-to” fat bikes from manufacturers trying to jump on the fat bike bandwagon. Everyone seemed to want to pile on the fat bike craze. From those heady times, we have seen some really interesting and fresh bikes emerge for the 2017 season. […]
Tomorrow is the first day of Winter on the earth’s northern hemisphere, so that make’s this Yule’s Eve; or as your favorite cable TV meteorologist might refer to as the winter solstice. I like to say it’s the shortest day of the year (even though each day is 24 hours long, more or less). The […]
This month I have chosen the first video I made of my fat-bike. It was the first big ride on my new bike apart from the ride around the block just to be sure nothing fell off. I had just finished building the bike 2 weeks earlier back in February 2016. I had only […]

The question went out, when you put aside the glory of test gear, (not always as glorious as you think), what do real riders use in the real world? It’s so flattering to think people assume I live in the real world. Here are some thoughts: Ergon GP2 Grips Naturally all the Black Ribbon […]

The Outer Hebrides are a formation of islands off the North West coast of Scotland which are joined by causeways and ferries. Since Bruce (Coastkid) put the idea in my head to go there on the fat bikes, I bought the maps which meant I was going! Unfortunately, Bruce couldn’t make it in the […]
