I bike on local trails & you can hear these "Harley sized snow tires" droning a mile away. Imagine if all the energy going into that noise instead went to moving forward...
But, at least it's only the price of a decent used car.
They make loads of sense here in Minnesota.
During the snow season, which seems like half the year, they are a blast.
Now that the snow is retreating, I see folks riding these on MUPs and it doesn't work as well for me.
At least they are out riding!
As for the price of the pictured Farley, buy last year's model and save a grand.
I saved $650 on my Salsa Blackborow, which runs about $3,000 less than the Farley.
just my 2 cents.
