Fat bikes have opened up the doors to new challenges and new adventures, taking cyclists to previously inaccessible places. Remembering his late father, Red Bull Athlete Tim Johnson rode a modified Fat Caad up Mt. Washington… in winter. Although they’re not everyone’s cup of tea and seem to divide opinion greatly, ‘fatties’ have the power to allow us to fulfill new challenges. It looks like they’re here to stay.
“With 39 mph wind gusts and an elevation gain of 4,285 feet, Red Bull Athlete Tim Johnson becomes the first person to ever bike up Mt. Washington Auto Road in the winter, where his father watched him win the 2000 Summer hill climb 11 years ago. He rides a modified Fat Bike 7.2 miles in –19 degree temperatures against unpredictable conditions in the ‘World’s Worst Weather’.”
