I’ve been insanely busy lately and completely neglecting this blog. The nice folks at Carson Rental loaned me a $120,000 30,000lb bulldozer for a week without ever asking me if I had ever driven a bulldozer (I hadn’t). I proceeded to spend a week tearing up my property with 14 new ponds and many acres…
I’ve been looking at aftermarket screw-in studs for fatbike and motocross tires for a while now since I love to ride all winter long and a lot of times the snow is just a mixture of ice and slush. The premier US seller of studs is a company called gripstuds who sell a variety of custom…
When it comes to riding my bike on any road, it takes a lot to get me excited. There is an exception to every rule and my exception to my disdain for road biking involves the Blue Ridge Parkway \ Skyline Drive in Virgina. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs for 469 miles through Virgina and…
It’s been a long time since I laughed so hard I cried. In all honesty, it’s never happened on an ebike, but when I tested the Luna Fat Drift Trike ripping along The Strand in LA at night barely on the verge of control racing along with my friend Curt Fisher, I was laughing out…

All that changed…
It’s not winter yet, but as summer comes to a close and I start thinking about wintertime coming there is something that you hardcore winter riders may want to do. I’ve ridden electric fat bikes in the snow for several years now and because of all the problems I’ve had with frozen derailleurs, brakes and…
Because change is the only constant in life, I’ve decided to break down and change the name of this blog. There are a lot of reasons I’ve chosen to do this, but not the least of which is that only a small fraction of articles on this blog seem to have anything to do with fat…
I’ve suffered from almost 30 concussions in my life as well as being hit by 3 cars, a deer, and a dog while biking. Working as an EMT for 6 years I saw a lot of auto accidents as well as bicycle\auto accidents which almost never ended well for the bicyclist. This is a culmination…

Several months ago I started looking seriously at creating ‘the ultimate fatbike’. I knew it had to be 2 Wheel Drive and I knew it had to be full suspension, but I had no idea where to start. Once I saw the Quigley Full suspension fatbike from Bikes Direct I fell in love. Before Doug’s…
