THE END
In response to fAt bike h8ters…
Fat bikes and bikers represent the anti establishment so incredibly well.
Build ’em the way you want, inflate the tires to the pressure you want and ride with Cheshire cat grin! Yay fAt bikes! And no need for tires inflated to feel like they are filled with concrete…
