FatBiking, with its extra-wide tires (over 3.8 inches), makes four-season cycling a reality. The wide tires and low pressure allow these bikes to float on snow, providing a smooth, enjoyable ride through winter landscapes. Saskatoon is home to Canada’s first known FatBike-specific cycling club, the FatLanders FatTire Brigade. Winter riding options within Saskatoon and nearby areas are plentiful, including wide plowed paths, scenic snowshoe-tracked trails along the riverbanks, and our club-groomed St. Barbe winter riding area. Many local bike stores even offer FatBike rentals for newcomers.
Formed in 2014, our club advocates for and promotes FatBiking in Saskatoon and the surrounding area. We work with the Provincial Cycling Association, the City of Saskatoon, the Meewasin Valley Authority, and other active lifestyle groups to support and expand riding opportunities. Throughout the winter months, we organize weekly rides and host special events like Global FatBike Day and a FatBike Festival during the Wintershines Festival in late January. Join us and discover the joy of winter riding—it’s easy to see why every FatBiker wears a smile.
