Fat biking fun for the whole family


“We already know the routes from years back, but it was the fi rst time we rented fat bikes,” explains Paavo Reponen. Last winter, the Reponen family from


Southern Finland came to Ylläs on holiday. “We saw fat bikes here when we were


here this summer. T en we thought about renting some for the whole fa- mily.” Daddy Reponen is used to fat biking


at home. “I’ve got a fat bike waiting in the


garage and have some experience in riding it.” For a couple of years now, fat bikes have become an everyday part of the


30 OPEN


Ylläs scene, but it’s best to go on the trails to get the most out of them.


Trails hardened by night frosts


“Today will be a good day for trail riding, as the temperature fell below freezing point in the night,” Elina Reponen suggests. T e two Reponen boys, 9-year old


Emil and 7-year old Joel, will ride special kids-size fat bikes. T ere are suitably sized bikes for all


riders large and small. Even so, tyre thickness appears to be standardised across the size range. Bigger and fatter tyres than normal can roll over the most diffi cult obstacles.

T e Reponens’ trek starts at the


“Jounin Kauppa” shop, then heads up towards the Latvamaja campfi re for cocoa and doughnuts. T ey planned this route for their kids. “It’s a bit more tiring to ride the trails


on a fat bike than on the road with a regular bike,” Elina explains. In the morning, the trails still felt


hard under the bikes, but soſt ened up in the sun during the day. Elina recommends fat biking to ot-


her families with children. “Riding a fat bike is easy once you


have basic cycling skills and know how to use handbrakes.” Fat bikes are rented out by all the local sports shops.
