    Took out the Fat Bikes

    Fat Bikes are becoming more prevalent in our world. We bit the bullet and now are stocking a few in our shop. (Surly Pugs and Pug Ops) Naturally one needs to take them for a ride to talk intelligently about them correct

    We did have a great time on this ride and will do more rides with them. I am not fond of the handlebars - to wide for me - so if I were to commit to personally owning I would probably go with a Jones Bar but I sure loved the disc brakes and the ability to roll over anything in my path

    They really shine on sand and snow. We have 2 in our garage, but it's only a matter of time before we add a 3rd. DS and I currently share a bike, but it's tricky when we all 3 want to ride together. For a recent trip up to Lake Superior (UP of MI) we borrowed a friend's bike for me to ride.

    Looks like great fun!

    I chopped the stock bars on my mtb.

    I'd really like to try one. If we had snow that lasted longer, easily accessible gravel roads and/or sand, I'd probably really want one. They look super fun.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Sure, but only if I can find a house as cute as yours! I had serious envy when you posted about it.

    They're building something similar just a few doors down -- it's a spec home and is available!
