Fat Tire Bikes in Snow.
A year ago had you asked me to describe snow I would’ve said it’s cold and white and gets in the top of your slippers when you’re taking the garbage out to the pavement. But it turns out that there’s a lot more to snow than meets the eye……
On-One Floater Fat Bike Tire Review
Since I bought my bike a couple months back I’ve been using the stock Vee Rubber tires, which have acquitted themselves pretty well in a fairly broad range of conditions.

The Joys of Winter Cycling…
I ride my bike in the winter not to stand-out and impress those around me, but to perpetuate my own internal suffering. Take Sunday, for example. We’ve had some cold and snow over the past couple weeks, but Sunday was forecast to be dry and a little warmer than average. So I set out on a road ride around noon……
Winter Biking/Clothing….

Dressed To Kill…
I admit to having made a pain of myself on the subject of cycling apparel and I have expressed a reluctance to get drawn into the whole spandex thing. And I vehemently maintain my position, kinda, sorta. You see without giving it a great deal of thought I've slowly...
Death By Cleat.
I haven't been on any longish rides in almost a month. I had a heavy cold that lingered for three weeks and then the fat bike came along, so I was hitting up the shorter trails, mostly. So today I decided to have a little run up to Ellison Bay to a little store/deli...

It's a well kept secret but there are actually two gnarly man-made mountain bike trails in Kewaunee, one located at Ryan Park and the other at Winter Park. In actual fact there are three, all created by the same organization, the third is somewhere out at the ATV park...
