What is a ‘Fatbike’?

(source Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatbike)

A fatbike also named wide tire bike is a bicycle with over-sized tyres, typically 4 inches or larger and rims 65 mm or wider, that are designed for riding on soft unstable terrain such as snow and sand. These bikes are built around frames with wide forks and stays to accommodate the wide rims required to fit these tires.
History

Fatbikes were invented for winter trail riding and racing in sub-arctic Alaska and simultaneously, for touring the deserts of New Mexico. They are very versatile bikes, capable of riding on any terrain which includes: snow, sand, desert, bogs and mud as well as normal mountain biking terrain. The original fatbike was ridden in 1986 across the Sahara using fat tires prototypes from Michelin.

In December 2012 Eric Larsen (Polar Explorer) attempted to ride a fatbike to the South Pole. He made it a quarter of the way before he had to turn around. In 2013/2014 there were three cycling expeditions to the South Pole. Maria Leijerstam became the first to cycle to the South Pole, across the South Pole Traverse road on a tricycle with fatbike tires. Juan Menéndez Granados skied and rode a fatbike to the South Pole. On 21 January 2014 Daniel P. Burton became the first person to ride a bike across Antarctica to the South Pole.

Experience required?

If you can ride a bike then you are there already! You will realise after just 2 minutes on a fatbike how easy it is and the limitations are virtually non-existent! The bikes are a little different to steer but are quick to get used to.

Level of Fitness required?

If you can ride on a normal mountain bike trail then you will be fine. You will need to be relatively fit and able to do the trails but we ride slowly so don’t worry if you get tired as it is about enjoying the ride and not a race.

When do you offer these trips?

We run year-round but the riding will be most fun in our Summer months (October – May) with hot sunny days mostly. Our Great White Sharks are here all year round but peak Season is our winter from June – September when the visibility is better underwater and water warmer. The Whales come into the bay from July – December.

Where can I buy a Fatbike?

We have preferential rates from an excellent vendor and should you wish to buy a Fatbike after your stay we can put an order in for you including any personal requirements for the look and feel of the bike and it will be delivered to your door.
