Nice blue, Angry.

So what does a fat bike handle like? Is it agile and quick? It sure looks like it would be the opposite. Though it does indeed look like fun.

I jumped on the sale. I've ridden this six times in the last couple of weeks. Definitely upped the fun factor.

FYI, "agile and quick" are not two words associated with "fat" bikes, however "BIG FUN" are two words you can use with complete confidence!

Convert to tubeless, enjoy ridiculously low pressures and reduced rolling resistance!

I picked one up a month ago. It is fun and I like being able to ride in any condition. The trainer just isn't cutting it for me. Definitely not agile but I love being able to roll over just about anything. With the brooks saddle and right tire pressure I am still getting out for a hour or two a day. I am just not getting as many miles in but it seems to be a great work out.

ain't this the truth!

i wasn't keeping track of miles, but pedaling through soft sand is a heartbreaker! making any positive headway speed on the beach really drove my heart rate up, huge workout for a little bit of time on these things in certain conditions IMO.

I did 13.5 miles in slushy slop on mixed trails and it took me almost two hours. It was a slow day but fun nonetheless.
