I can't see owning one here, but if I lived in Edmonton it would be one of my
primary bikes for a bunch of the year. They're excellent there! I gotta wonder
who the "we" is in that article though - I'm guessing industry folks as it all
seemed to be geared around building a financially viable sport more than
figuring out how to have a real good time on bikes with big tires. The bit
about standards is important - I was shopping for a cheap fatty to keep in
Edmonton and my head was swimming with all the wheel/tire/hub/BB sizes out
there. Seems like it would be pretty easy to get stuck with the Fatbike
Betamax right now.
