Introduction

• The year was 1999, when fat bikes first appeared
  on the market at the Inter-bike trade show in
  Alaska as reported in Adventure Cycling. First
  modeled as a way to get around in the snow and
  ice, now they are used in a variety of off road
  conditions, such as sand, mud, and dirt. The
  modern fat bike has typically 3.8 inch (97 mm)
  wheels with rims of 2.16 inches (55mm).

• Celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and
  Jimmy Fallon have both shown interest in the fat
  biking craze that has been taking North America
  by storm. Another reason to fall in love with the
  fat bike is to pump up your cardio routine and
  relieve your mental stress. Some say that fat
  biking is the modern day equivalent to cross
  country skiing, and that surfing through the
  wilderness in full suspension madness is like
  yoga for the soul.

What are the advantages of Fat Biking?

• Known commercially as the go anywhere bike, fat
  bikes offer more stability which allows you to be
  more adventurous. In soft conditions, fat bike
  riding can burn a whopping 1500 calories an hour.
  If you are into cross training, fat biking can
  also be a nice cool down exercise to cross
  country skiing.

• Fat bikes will allow exploration of terrain not
  capable on foot. The fat bike is built to be
  great on snow and ice conditions such as in
  Antarctica. Fat Bike expeditions to the South
  Pole have been lead by many explorers since
  around 2012. Fat Bikes can also be used in
  deserts, bogs, and muddy terrain. This bike will
  quite literally go anywhere except the moonbut
  who knows what the future may hold?

How Fat Bikes are looking in the future.

• There are currently two types of fat bike rider,
  the commuter and the racer. Fat Bikes used in
  competitive events have expanded the market.
  Growing popularity of these bikes have trickled
  into the commuter market. As people become more
  health conscience, they are seeking more ways to
  become physically active.

8

• One way that fat bike manufacturers have
  innovated this trend toward commuter bikes is to
  create folding fat bikes that can easily be moved
  in small spaces like trains and busses.
• Manufacturers are even finding ways to integrate
  smart phones to fat bikes, so that you can use
  GPS technology or stream music.

9

• Fat bike manufacturers are also using more light
  weight materials such as carbon fibre to build
  the frames. This, along with an increasing
  consumer conscience to be more eco-friendly in
  buying choices will catapult the fat bike
  industry to mainstream success. As cities are now
  more congested than ever, people are looking for
  ways to free the environment from the stress of
  pollution.

How the Fat Bike will ease your mind

• Exercise for one has been a long used stress
  reliever, experiencing what some call a runners
  high. Exercise produces endorphins, and
  endorphins, experts say, make people feel good.
  One of the benefits of fat biking, is that it can
  be done alone or in a group. There are Mountain
  Biking Groups across Canada like the Walden
  Mountain Bike Club in Sudbury, Ontario. These
  clubs often have dedicated trail systems to be
  explored alone or in a group ride.

11

• There is even a Global Fat Bike ride day, every
  year in Saskatchewan. Fat Bike riders form a
  community of people that want to get out and
  explore the outdoors. Most people find the stress
  busting benefits of being in the outdoors for as
  little as 30 minutes to outweigh the option of
  not doing anything. Coming up with a funky name
  for the fat bike team is a bonus.

The rules of the fat bike universe

• There are some basic etiquette to consider before
  going on an adventure. The first is the question
  of leaving ruts in the road. Best practice for
  all riders is to just not leave any and turn
  around. A rut in the road could become a danger
  for the next person who rides the trail.

13

• Some in the fat bike world say, to use the
  appropriate tire width to suit the weight of the
  person, and no less than 3.8 inches. Use the
  appropriate air pressure to suit the conditions.
  

14

• The number one rule is to simply get out there
  and have fun. Fat biking has been proven to be a
  stress busting activity that is also great
  exercise. Innovations in light weight materials
  and technology are making fat bikes a fitness
  trend that is here to stay. Fat bikes just might
  be the answer to the common commuter problem of
  traffic jams.
