The Fat of Suburbia........AKA Urban Fatbiking.
We all love to ride , well, everywhere on our FB`s.
We've seen pix of trails,sand snow and sea, but what about the rest ?
How about some urban backyard shots of where we all live ?
Show us the good, bad and plain crazy places around your towns.
Let us see the Fat of Suburbia

Better finish what I started
A beautiful day here in the North West of England.........perfect weather for some Sub Urban Puggin' around
The aim....... ride off road as much as possible within my home town and take lots of Pix.... simples
Be warned.... VERY picture heavy.

Tnx DrF.
I took the pic not far from my house at a place that was once an industrial area where a lot of ships came in and out that went to all corners of the world.
But since the ships became bigger and bigger this place was to small and got redeveloped into a residential area.
I don't know the story behind the statue of the dog.
But i think it sits there waiting for his master to come back from sea.....

The final phew !

i ride it daily at the moment, sometimes heading east then looping through the cycle tunnel at jarrow, thats a 13 mile ride, and next day i swap and do the west ride and loop over scotswood bridge, a 15 mile ride.
Fantastic pictures.. Thanks...

From today's ride.
EDIT: wondering if Black Floyds would do in places like these (as they probably would rock in urban areas):

Photo is a year old now, but here's my 9:Zero:7 rolling on Large Marges & Maxxis Hookworms at the NYC 5 Boro Bike Tour:
Photo was taken somewhere in Brooklyn. Those tires felt huge then, but seem so small with the Black Floyds out now!

[QUOTE=MiniTrail;9358721]a friend shared this with me and I've been looking for a place in here to show it. sweet or what?
Very sweet! He has all his bases covered.
Recumbent? Check
Chopper? Check
Half Fat? Check
Exotic Materials? Check
Flames? Check
Air Horn? Check
Wooden Bash Guard? Check
If he strapped a milk crate to the back he could add Cargo Bike to the list.
