This Week in Fat-bike History
The following links are from the Weekly Dose of Fat published on 2-14-12! Yes, They all still work. Amazing to see what was happening back then and that many posts from 13 years ago are still available on the web!
I guess that week in 2012 I was headed up to Minnesota to meet up with other fat-bikers for a continuation of the “Fat-n-Frosty Road Trip” and take in some of the fat-bike culture in the Twin Cities as well as attend Frostbike looking for all that is new in fat-bike fun. We’ll have a report, or several, for ya’ll next week!
