Fat Fun with Fat Bikes

Half-frozen toes, numb fingers and a countless amounts of face plants! We had one of the craziest and most epic days of riding ever equipped with fat bikes in some deep snow! One we certainly won’t be forgetting any time soon.

Fat bikes get a lot of flack but they are damn fun!

Vai Gringo – Incredible Riding in Rio de Janeiro

Biking in the shadow of Christ the Redeemer and finishing the day off on the beach, this is Rio! A popular holiday and tourist destination but it is far from a popular riding destination, that’ll soon change!

Val Gardena – a stunning valley in the Dolomites

Val Gardena in the Dolomites left has stunned, with it’s crazy scenery, fantastic food and even better riding! The same holds true for the neighboring Eisacktal/Valle Isarco and the Alpe di Siusi. We headed there early in the summer are were blown away with what we found, proof that you really don’t need to travel far to find incredible locations.
