Unfortunately where I live, they are experimenting with new road surfaces that would cause the fillings to pop out of your mouth. I can imagine that with these huge tires, the ride must be quite smooth. I've seen a number of guys riding mountain bikes with these large tires. I must stop one of the riders when I can and ask him/her what the ride feels like. Too expensive to keep going back and forth to the dentist.

I have a fat bike - it's a blast to ride. A little noisy because most fat bike tires come with fairly aggressive tread, but you literally float over curbs, bumps, etc. You're literally smiling as you cruise on by...
