I-275 Bike Trail - Fat City Cycles cache is located north of Eight Mile Road along the I-275 Bike Trail. New fence in the area blocks immediate access to the cache. There is parking along Haggerty Road. You can also view an online trail map on Google Maps. It includes markers for official access points to the trail.
A few caches have been archived along the I-275 Bike Trail and I will start filling in those gaps. As most of the rest of the caches, I am naming them after defunct bicycle manufacturers. This cache is named after Fat City Cycles. Fat City Cycles was an early manufacture of mountain bikes on the East Coast in the United. They started in the 1980s.
The cache container is a small camo painted bison tube container. You will need a log extractor. Please bring your own pencil or pen.
I have found that a quick and simple log extraction tool can be made from a small paperclip. Straighten one end out. Grab just a small portion (maybe 1/32 of an inch or 1 millimeter) with a long-nose or needle-nose pliers then bend it at a right angle. I have attached one to the cache you can use. Please leave it for the next person.
