March 08, 2021 Fat-bike Radio – Kona Woo Bike Review

Gomez is joined by Ronsta and Danimal to review the 2021 Kona Woo. This is the first time that Fat-Bike has reviewed a bike in a podcast.

Ronsta & Danimal at Wheel & Sprocket Delafield

It’s like reality TV for your ears when we all get going. After we recorded this segment, I recently took the Woo out for some crustifarian miles and enjoyed the hell out of it!

We plan on giving the Woo a shot at some dirt this spring with a suspension fork and a dropper post so stay tuned for more about what we think of this iridescent bici-gordo guapo! Take a listen and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Show Beer – Wizard Staff IPA

It may have taken some powers of mystical proportions, but we conjured up an easy-drinking, low-alcohol IPA that doesn’t compromise flavor. Extremely drinkable, but with a bold hop profile, this IPA is juicy and tropical, yet smooth and light. Crushable. Flavorful. Stackable. It must be magic.
ABV – 5%
TASTE – Mango, citrus and tropical fruit sweetness balanced by a mild, subtle bitterness

Show Beer – Black Husky Vain – Pale Ale with Citra hops
Shad is our rock star dog having run the famous Iditarod sled dog race. However, like some celebrities, he could be aloof and even arrogant at times. In fact he really felt like he was better than other dogs – and he was. So in Shad’s arrogant spirit we have brewed a pale ale with Citra hops that we frankly feel is better than the others.

February 04, 2021 The Danger Gnome Podcast – the Head-Hands & Feet Show
Today’s Danger Gnome Podcast provides a rich mosaic storyboard that chronicles what our Bike Black Ribbon gang members wear on their Head, Hands & Feet on winter bike rides. We wanted to give you a ‘real-world’ cross-section of what a group of experienced winter cyclists chooses to wear. It ended up to be over two-hours of information-rich winter apparel experiences that reminded me of a few old tricks that I put to use now. The polar vortex is about to make a visit.
