Louis Reichert sent in this week’s F(v)T. In the grand scheme of things, Namibia pretty much takes the cake when it comes to getting planetary for Global fat Bike Day. I normally try to say something marginally funny like the International House of Fat Bikes in these situations. The Namibian Desert bumps right up next […]

Global Fat Bike Day Turns Ten
The tenth year of Global Fat Bike Day is in the rearview mirror and I think that (for me personally) it was the best one (that I can remember). Over the past decade, I’ve traveled far and wide around the Great Lakes on GFBD. I’ve been to one of the largest group rides up in […]
Global Fat Bike Day Flashback to Sapporo 2012

Fat Tribe Friday – GFBD 2020 – Positive Vibrations
It’s pert near fall so that means that it’s time to think about the OG of fat-bike holidays – Global Fat-Bike Day. As we’re all aware, this year is fraught with pandemic concerns and I’ve been spending a fair amount of time trying to come up with a plan that addresses everyone’s concerns. I have […]
Fat (video) Tuesday – GFBD in Brazil’s Fat-Bike Paradise!
Inevitably, some of our readers contact us about Global Fat Bike Day and aren’t shy about telling us how the date (the first Saturday in December) doesn’t make sense because of the weather and soft trail conditions. I experienced some of those hurdles at my own GFBD ride. We had to meet at sunrise (7 […]

Fat (video) Tuesday – Frensham
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 […]

Shawne Camp came up with a pretty great idea last year, to host a Toys for Tots, holiday gift drive and we somehow came up with the idea of suggesting that ride organizers incorporate a toy drive into their Global Fat-Bike Day  celebrations. Shawne contacted me recently and here’s what he had to say. Uncle G, Hope you […]

Global Fat-bike Day in Pictures
Here in SE Wisconsin we had a turnout of about 60 fat-bikers at the John Muir and Emma Carlin trail systems near Palmyra, WI. Temps in the 50’s kept snow at bay but, to be truthful, we really haven’t had much in the way of early December snow for many years. Still, the sandy terrain […]

Weekly Dose of Fat ~ 11/2/2012
A few of our UK amigos came up with the rather stupendous idea to designate December 1st as Global Fat-Bike Day. What’s Global Fat-Bike Day, you ask? It’s the day that fat-bikers from all around the world get together with their friends or family and take a ride. There’s talk of a grand photo post […]
