There were many fat tire bikes last year. You could here them coming a mile away – I can’t say it looked like a better way to go but they could sure fly on the gravel loop!

I don’t have a FAT bike, but I have a Trek 920 (you have to look this bike up…such a blast to ride!). Sure, it’s heavier than a road bike, but I can ZOOM on this baby!

I think I saw my first fat-tire bike on RAGBRAI 3 years ago and then only 1 that I know of. Last year they were common enough that they are no longer unusual. I do not have one but have followed a fat-bike for several miles at a blistering pace. If you have been training on a fat bike go for it.

Rollin fat here. Slick tires, Jones Bar, and a dozen brewery stickers. See you next week!

Had intended to ride fat bike but picked up a Surly Cross Check a while back. May take both because love to ride the Farley

Thanks for all the replies. After much consideration, debate, test rides, packing configurations, personal reflection, I decided on the Disc Trucker. Not a roadie, but not a fattie. Compromise I guess.
