But before you hop on for a ride through the Canadian Shield’s upper reaches, you’ll want to learn a few things about fat tire bikes.
The History of Fat Tire Bikes
Back when mountain biking became popular in the 1980s, riders started to find a few limitations when leaving the beaten path. Most notably, riders who couldn’t wait for spring often faced steep challenges while trying to bike in snowy conditions. At first, savvy bicyclists would finagle two or even three tires side by side for more traction. Eventually, manufacturers caught on to what hardcore riders were doing and introduced several variations for sand and snow alike. Finally, by 2005, Surly Bikes produced “The Pugsley,” and many other bike manufacturers followed suit.
Fat Tire Bikes Can Go “Off-Road”
While many people will use them during the winter, you can take fat bikes out during any season. The massive tires allow you to ride over large logs and thick mud with little to no effort. They can also climb a hill unlike any other mountain bike and seamlessly take tight corners. These awesome attributes will come in handy when you haul a kayak to a nearby lake as part of our all-inclusive adventure package!
