INTERNATIONAL DAYAWARENESS

Global Fat Bike Day

Every year on December 5, a worldwide invitation to pump up the fattest tires you own and go ride, because the only thing this holiday asks of you is to find the time to pedal. Snow, sand, or mud, nothing stops a fat bike, and nothing stops the fun.

3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Ride Your Own Route at Home

Dust off the fat bike, check the tire pressure (low and squishy is the whole trick), and ride your favorite local loop. No fat bike? Many shops rent them, and the first Saturday in December is the perfect excuse to try.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Join a Group Ride in the Community

Look for a local Global Fat Bike Day group ride, or start your own and invite the neighborhood. Group rides often end with hot drinks and good stories, which is honestly half the point.

AT WORK OR SCHOOL

Share the Ride at Work or School

Post your ride photos with #GlobalFatBikeDay and dare a coworker or classmate to join you next year. A snowy action shot beats another meeting memo every time.

Plan ahead

Global Fat Bike Day is observed on the first Saturday in December. Here is where it lands for the next ten years, handy for planners, marketers and party people.

Fast facts

Fat bike tires measure 3.8 inches wide or more, built to float over snow, sand, and mud.
Just ride. That is the only request of the day, alone or with friends, then share it with #GlobalFatBikeDay.

Keep the party going
