Bike Life Unchained: ANCHORAGE | Fat Bikes, Fast Trails, and Fierce Women at the Edge of the World

Welcome to Anchorage—where the bike season doesn’t stop when the snow falls, and the community rides harder than the weather.

In this episode of Bike Life Unchained, we head north to Alaska’s biggest city to explore one of the most unique and resilient cycling cultures in the world.

🚵‍♀️ We hit the trails at a women’s mountain biking festival and try our luck at downhill for the first time
❄️ Learn what it takes to ride through the darkest, coldest months on a winter-ready fat bike
💡 Ride along on a community group ride with a mission—and a message
🏕️ Meet the nonprofit teaching teen girls confidence through multi-day bikepacking in the Alaskan backcountry
🛠️ Drop by a community bike co-op, a women-owned bike clothing shop, and catch a game of bike polo.

Anchorage isn’t just about surviving the extremes. It’s about thriving in them—and building a bike scene that’s as bold and wild as the landscape itself.
