GARRISON – Pleasure found in enjoying the outdoors, along with getting some wonderful exercise, are just two of the many reasons for a growing list of enthusiasts that have discovered fat tire biking.
Fat tire bikes are just what their title implies. Tires are much, much wider than what is commonly found on conventional bicycles – three and one-half to five inches wide. The big tires have an aggressive tread and are made to perform in the snow. Or, more properly, on top of it.
