I am very fortunate, my bike stable runneth over. There was sort of a moment of "post peak fat bike" a few years ago when it was easy to pick them up. Chris On Friday, January 8, 2021 at 3:47:48 PM UTC-5 Michael Morrissey wrote: > Chris you are a lucky duck if you own two fat bikes! > > On

Hi David. Maine native and avid fat bike and winter cycling enthusiast here. You didn't say which part of the state you are in. This makes a difference, north or south, coastal or mountains, the weather and snow conditions are quite different. I'm guessing, since you're asking about riding on
