I had a shop friend years ago who was railing against the name ‘Fat Bike’ after a few beers… I asked him what I’ll ask you: what would you call them?! Pretty sure the question caused his brain to overload and that’s why he passed out from standing up!
I mean, it’s a stupid name, sure, but unlike ATB where there are great alternatives I can’t think of one… and I mean, ‘Snow Bikes’ makes me think of those semi-steerable sit-skis so that’s worse certainly.
