Amazing snow riding on Yatsugatake!

Fat Bikes were developed to ride in the wilds of Alaska originally and have quickly become popular with riders who live or spend time in snowy areas. Because of the Fat tires low air pressure can be used with a big volume of air in the tire. This gives us great traction in the snow and even on ice. Exploring snow covered trails on Fat Bikes has given a whole new meaning to winter riding, FUN!

GEAR

Suitable Bikes

Clothing
Layers are recommended for winter riding, you will be surprised at how warm you are while riding but having an extra layer for when you are stopped is good. On cold days we recommend short breaks or even no breaks to keep ourselves warm. We find hiking shoes, snowboard boots along with winter boots work well for a days riding. Winter gloves not mittens and a hat to keep the heat in are a must.
What to bring
Neck warmer; gloves; warm hat, vest.
