This column is all about fat-bike history! I really dig checking in on stuff that happened at the beginning of the fat-bike craze! Fat-bike.com was there! Reliving the “good ol’ days” while writing these columns sure brings back good memories and reminds me that there are many more to come! Plus, it gives me the opportunity to clean up dead links and get those old posts into the modern era of WordPress structure.
This Week in Fatbike History
The following links and commentary are from the Weekly Dose of Fat published on 6-1-12! Yes, they all still work. 13 years ago and are still available on the web! Fat-biking history endures!
Let us begin…
I wrote the next paragraph back in 2012 but it still rings true today!
Holy mackerel! It’s already June. Just a few more months ’till the winter fatbike season is here! Wait a second, we still have a WHOLE summer and fall to go but, being June, it did get me to thinking about how fast this year is flying by. And, to remind all you event planners that it is not too early to get events posted on the Fat Bike Events Calendar so if you have events planned, shoot us a note! Calendar listings are still FREE!

Floating fatbikes seem to be getting popular as the weather, and water, warms! Besides our photo above here are a couple more.
