Why
we like this bike
|
These
fat tire bikes have the same size rims as mountain bikes,
but the smoother tires, softer suspensions, and very upright
riding position make it an ideal "kick back and cruise"
bike. |
|
Who
is this bike for?
|
One
couple in their 50's bought these for cruising the back
roads, and their college age daughter liked them so much,
she bought one for herself as a campus beater. Other customers
for this bike use it for an hour of daily exercise on
the roads, but they want to sit up more than a road bike
will let them and they want the maximum cushion of fat
tires. Alternatives to this bike are touring
bikes and hybrid bikes. |
