My fat bike tires cost a little less (each) than the tires on the Sportwagen. But, I run Bridgestone Potenzas/Blizzaks on the VW and I don't use studded tires on the fat bike.

Honestly after everything I went through with my hip, I’m not super keen to risk falling an undoing four years worth of incremental improvements. Same reason I don’t ski.

I ignored mountain bikes for 38 seasons and then a friend talked me in to buying one for winter use. I used it 4 times in which I broke a rib in a crash when I fell down a ravine and then tore a meniscus in my knee after a slow speed crash. I sold it.

I have trail access almost in my back yard, I’d love to try MTB but my wife has expressly forbidden it.

Unfortunately, that's what we sign on for when we get a pet. They give to us, and it's the least we can do in return.

Cripes, they remind me of the old Dunlop wire wheels on my MGB! But I couldn't run them tubeless.

No it isn’t. Feeling healthy and pain free is priceless, yet something under-appreciated until it’s gone.
