​Winter Fat Biking Tips

• Keep tire pressure around 5 psi  or lower ( no gauge?  apply pressure on seat and handlebars; if the tires start to flatten - you are good to go!
• ​Use your front brake!  Too many riders neglect using their front brake and loose control of their bikes because the rear tire slides out.
• When climbing hills, stay in your saddle and pull straight back on the handlebars (towards your saddle).  Do not pull up or use them for leverage for your pedaling.
• Look where you want to go, it's best to look at least 15 to 20 feet ahead of the bike.
• Remember that most of the trail is two-way, be sure to call out "RIDER!" when approaching a blind section of trail.
