I do. When you're riding in several feet of snow. Road bike is faster on bare pavement, mountain bike is faster on rocky, rooty single track, fat bike is faster in deep snow. All three are real world conditions. In other words, these are the best tools for different jobs, and each one of them will excel at what it was born for.
