Fat-bike News You Can Use!
Greetings from the Fat-bike.com News Room! It is Friday, March 21st.
We were hoping for a big snow event in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan but it didn’t really materialize. Forecasts 20-20 inches locally turned into maybe 7. Still, might be the last vestige of winter riding if you get there quick!
If you missed it somehow, Seeley Dave has a “First Look” at this Panorama Chic Chocs 3 this week. As always, Seeley Dave takes great photos! – https://archive.fat-bike.com/2025/03/panorama-chic-choc-3-review-first-look/

Hi all, Sven here. While we ramp the fat-bike.com machine back up we could use a few shekels in the ol’ coffers to keep the servers running and the lights on etc. The following are some items I have on eBay that, if sold, will help keep the wheels rolling true! Thanks.
