It's true: these magic bikes have the power to make you feel like you’re an 8-year-old kid again!

What is Fat Tire Biking?

Simply put, fat tire biking is a style of biking that combines the look and frame of a mountain bike with “fat” tires. These impressive tires can range from 3.8 inches wide to sometimes exceeding 5 inches! The tires create a huge contact patch with the ground, grabbing up traction on slick and loose surfaces. They are heavier than most bikes and turn slowly, but speed isn’t the point here. The massive volume of the fat tires allows you to run air pressures so low, they barely register on a normal pump’s gauge. The resulting floatation enables them to roll over snow, sand, mud, wet roots, rocks, and other terrains that would otherwise be impassable.

An Easy Bike Tour for Everyone

Is grace not on your side? Are you the friend that always manages to get injured on adventures? Then this is the perfect day trip for you! ? Simply put, fat tire bikes are harder to mess up with. The tires are less apt to slide in corners, lose traction on rocks, or fall into ruts—even on normal trails. And guess what, you soon-to-be-trail-riding rock star? Fat tire bikes also increase your skill capacity when it comes to rough trails. Riding one of these feels like a dream. It’s like having the traction of a tank combined with the comfort of a memory foam pillow.
