The Weekly Dose of Fat Global Fat-Bike Day Holiday Special – Show Number 115 – Saturday, December 3rd 2016

Felices Dia de las Bicis Gordas Internacional to all of our amigos from around the world! We’ve been working on putting something special together for Global Fat Bike Day, so we traveled up to Minneapolis to record this week’s show at the Freewheel Winter Bike Expo. We somehow managed to put together an all-star line up of guests for the Holiday Special together. Joining us on today’s show are Jake from Freewheel, who, in the midst of preparing for the expo, took some time to talk to us. Our second guest is Mr. Eric Sovern from Surly Bikes, who premiers Surly’s newest Fat-Bike in a fat-bike.com exclusive. Alex Applegate bats third in our all-star lineup with a parade of new Tires, Wheels, Apparel and Lights from Bontrager and then Andy from HED Cycling talks about their new carbon and alloy – fat and plus sized rim choices that now cover the 27.5″ platform. So buckle up and get ready for some Global Fat-Bike Day radness!

The World Premier of the Surly Big Fat Dummy!

Our Global Fat-Bike Holiday Special is Sponsored by Surly Bikes. This week’s Weekly Dose is brought to you by the Surly 8 and 24 pack racks. Because a bike with a rack can carry almost anything  – within reason. Learn more about bikes, beer and reason at – http://surlybikes.com
