Fat Biking in Colorado
Fat bikes will typically have tires that measure 4″ to 5″ in width. Fat bikes can be used on snow and they have become popular in Colorado over the last 10 years. You’ll see them on many of the same winter recreational trails as the Nordic skiers, snowmobilers, and snowshoers.
