I thought it would be great to have one of the new Fat Bikes for riding on the beach. Local bike shops thought so too; but all their fat bikes were over $1500! I can not afford a toy like that.
I decided to try online; found some low grade stuff like mongooses at about $300; but I did not want to buy into troublesome low end junk
Found a nice gravity fat bike on bikesdirect and decided to give it a try
I sure am glad I did, spent under $600 and got a bike that seems nicer than the shop bikes that are $1500
I love it and I love riding on the beach
