Well said. Great article. I've been a fan of the fat bike for a few years now.
I don't own one yet, only because I haven't figured the right angle to work my
wife on to get her to let me buy one. When I first saw the new Rocky Blizzard
in print and in the shops, I was impressed. But then I saw the video and I
truly thought they did a disservice to the fat bike. They made it look like a
novelty. Shuttling with a snowmobile? Whats up with that. I know a few guys
that have fat bikes up at Sun Peaks. The mountain is fine with fat bikes and
there hasn't been any conflict with user groups. For them its about
maintaining winter fitness and actually riding. 3hrs to 4hrs night rides,
traversing the snowshoe trails or Cat tracks to the top of the mountain. Or
just plan old getting out riding trails, in the snow.
