Fat Bike in the terrain! Ideally in snow.
You’ve probably already seen this unique bike with fat tyres on the streets. It’s not really a hot novelty. Fat Bike originates from Alaska and New Mexico and its history dates back to the 1980s and 1990s. Production first began in 2005, when this luxury bike with fat tyres was called the Pugsley.
But increasingly more people are taking a fancy to this machine nowadays. It guarantees luxurious winter fun, during which you will burn tonnes of calories and ride around beautiful snowy fields.
Fat Bike: fun and sports in one
The Fat Bike (or Snow Bike) was not born for very solid surfaces. You will have trouble with it on asphalt. On the contrary, nothing will stop you in snow and mud! The bike, which features 4-5 inch-wide tyres, will take you through wet or hard snow, or even on recently made snowy paths. Not even mud poses an obstacle. This allows you to access luxurious locations you would never reach on a normal bike. You can enjoy stunning views over the snowy landscape and get a proper workout in the process. They say you can easily burn up to 1500 calories in an hour!
Snow in winter, dunes in summer!
This bike offers plenty of entertainment even in summer, when you can take it to the sand dunes or wide beaches. Sans is no obstacle! For those of you who aren’t looking for a serious workout and just want to get off the asphalt rode in summer or winter, there is also an electric Fat Boke, which makes every route a piece of cake.
Are you tempted? You can try rising the Fat Bike, for instance in Pec pod Sněžkou, where you can rent it for 590 CZK per day.
