The History of the Fat Bike

From a cult following amongst Iditabike racers and tour providers in the sands of New Mexico, FatBikes are on the verge of a popularity explosion. 

From shed-builds to major manufacturer buy-in there can be no doubt that FatBiking is here to stay. 

Rather than just re-word the history of the FatBike as posted elsewhere on the 'Net by folk much more skilled at this writing craic I decided to build an index of links to all things FatBike.
If you're lucky I might even attempt to categorise them in some way that makes sense. 

Basically, a ever-expanding virtual wilderness of FatBike links for you to explore at your leisure...
