Intro to Fat Biking: Gear Review & the Global Fat Viking Experience

Fat tire bikes are like the hot monster trucks of the cycling world! So when Heron Head Bikes in Brantford, ON gave me the opportunity to test ride 2 models and join the Global Fat Viking ride in January of this year, I jumped at it… sort of!

Intro to Bikepacking: The Wilewood Experience

Bikepacking is a combination of all-terrain cycling and backpacking. A recent micro-adventure through Brant County to Wilewood, just off the Trans Canada Trail, was my introduction to this experience. And it was definitely one-of-a-kind!

Experience A ‘Light the Night’ Ride With Heron Head Bikes

Heron Head Bikes is a unique Brantford bicycle sales and service business with the equally unique offering of coordinated group bike rides. Ranging from city neighbourhood tours to themed trips, pop-up events to monthly “Light the Night” rides, they make every effort to ensure cyclists are safe, feel included, and can thoroughly enjoy the best of what Brantford and the surrounding area have to offer.
