I'd been riding a Karate Monkey with slick tyres to and from work and found that the fatter the tyres, the more I enjoyed riding it. Also, I couldn't help but be attracted to the cartoonish, monster truck kind of stance of fat bikes. So when I came into some money last year, and after much deliberation I took a chance and pulled the trigger on an Ice Cream Truck. I was very apprehensive as, despite owning the KM, I hadn't really ridden a mountain bike off road and worried that I was going to be buying something I hated. However I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Glad I'm didn't as I love it.
