Why I ride a fatbike where and when I do.
I agree that having a winter beater bike is a very good way to beat back at Winter.
However I am retired now and have had a lifetime of beaters and mediocre bikes.
I made a pact with myself to buy a fairly good ride and not use my car until it was paid off.
My theory being every day I didn't use the car and rode my bike at least five K that it
was five bucks off the bike. I paid for that bike in one year.
Don't get me wrong my best bike may be someone elses beater.
But its mine and I earned it.
Beaters aren't beaters unless they get beat on.😉
Now I also have a fatbike.
The same deal goes for that.
No car useage and five K is five bucks off the bike.
A lot of folks seem to only ride on groomed snow trails.
That is great but its not for me right now nor is it feasable.
To me its a fatbike not just a snowbike or a sandbike if you prefer.😉
They make fatbikes for hunting now. Gorgeous heavy duty,quiet as the grave,rides.
One company makes a game trailer specifically(sp)for fatbikes.
I have dragged and carried a deer half a mile when I was younger.
Now a fatbike and trailer make a lot of sense.
And without a flake of snow in sight. 🚴♂️
