Bought a used fat bike (Surley Pugsley) last summer so I could get back into winter cycling.
Winter finally arrived last week, so I've got several days of winter riding in. The bike is a blast - it's not fast, but does go through most anything.
I don't have particularly good balance, but do feel pretty stable. Due to high rolling resistance there's little to no coasting, so I'm getting a good workout as well. It saves about 20 minutes each way (4 km one-way) compared to walking.
I used to run to work, but the heavy backpack (loaded with shower gear, change of clothes, and lunch) was wrecking my back.
The tires are 3.8" in front and 4.0" in back. No need for studs yet.
