We need FAT Bike forum
The title pretty much says it all,
Fat bikes are here to stay. How about it?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Show me enough interest that it will work and not just sit there. The only forum I ever created without a strong interest demonstrated was the Adaptive Cycling forum, because I thought it was needed, and still think so. That's a forum that we don't care if it ever makes us a dime, it simply needed to exist due to special needs being addressed there.
Too much specialization kills a forum and the fat tire bikes are used in multiple disciplines.

Thanks for the reply - not sure how to show interest - as you say "used in multiple disciplines" and search results confirm that.

In the interest of those who showed interest ahead of me - threw the idea out to a few forums which I frequent and/or have the potential to apply to Fat Bikes and have create some interest in at least one area:

Perhaps posting fat bike events will help.We also have a vendor in our Goods and Services area who specializes in Fat Bikes. Be discrete though, in promoting the idea so our antispam software doesn't get you on its radar. I have to program exceptions to save a member who falls afoul and gets that antispammer autoban and isn't a spammer and it's time consuming.
