    Greatly used in Montreal too for instance, but problem is winter, riding in a foot of snow while it’s -20, not easy…

      So the thing for me isn’t the temperature nor the depth of the snow. It’s sharing space with cars and contending with the very real possibility of falling and getting my head crushed like a grape.

      I quite liked using my fat bike in the park through the snow. But on a road with cars on ice? There’s a reason I sold it.

      Also, I would literally sweat going downhill on that thing.
