I'm not telling you how to ride it, Paul and I'm not trying to define the
category, either. It sounds like where you're from, they're selling well - at
least because, as you state, shops can't keep them in stock. By next year
there will be a correction as shops place larger orders, distributors make
bigger commitments, and every bike company that can will bring one to market.
And then the market will either be flooded and they'll all be on sale, or the
fat bike market will just continue to grow and absorb the glut of fat bikes
being pumped out. If that happens, I'll be proven wrong. But we won't really
know for a few years. In the meantime I can assure you, that article may
contain some BS (in your opinion), but its bullshit status is far from
complete.
