7 great places to go fat biking in Colorado
The winter snow doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying biking. Fat biking is an increasingly popular winter sport and a unique way to enjoy the snow if you’re not into skiing or snowboarding. Fat bikes accommodate very wide tires, at least 3.8 inches in width, which allows riders to bike on snow and sand.
