Winter fat-biking in Ruka Finland by Pekka Lintusaari. Vuoden ensimmäiset tunnit kuluivat sähkö-fatbiken selässä Rukatunturin kupeessa! Merkattu reitti kulkee nimellä Pyhän Jyssäys Pikku Pyhävaaralle josta kiertää takaisin kohti Rukan hiihtokeskusta reitin lähtöpaikalle. Tämä on mun ehdottomia suosikkireittejäni. (Mahdollisuus kiertää myös lyhyempänä “Hirsilammen talvireitti”) Pistä kommenttia, jos tykkäsit maisemista! Ootko muuten jo testannut sähköfatbikea? I spent […]

Our Fat Tuesday Video comes to us all the way from Lappeenranta Finland! We’re the international house of fat-bikes and Marko Lankinen and some of his amigos share what it’s like to ride on snowy snowmobile trails with just the sound of crunching snow under their tires. The lack of a musical soundtrack means that you can […]
It’s Sven’s Birthday and Independence Day (my favorite holiday) so we took the day off and let our euro-amigos take over the site with a “behind-the-scenes” quick edit of a film, shot in Lapland this winter.

by : John Lackey About three weeks before my fiancé, Kara, and I were going to set out to Finland to tackle the Rovaniemi 150 race I was having bad back pain, but we started on what was supposed to be an 8 hour training ride on Saturday anyway. After about 5 minutes, I couldn’t […]

Finally it’s time to introduce some of the fatbikes found here in Finland.

We have our own conversation thread for fatbikes, called ‘The Official™ fatbike-thread’. Here is a selection of some of […]
Finland’s geographical location means that there is usually good snow conditions in the winter time. If you really want something special, head to Lapland where hunderds of miles of snowmobile tracks can be found. And in the end of winter the snow crust conditions are usually fabulous. But what if you want to race? The […]
