I even have tattoo's and a sweet sweet beard

The bike is definitely fun but takes some getting used to in terms of speed - it's slow and the gearing/geometry is sort of like chopping wood instead of graceful pedaling.
It's a bike one might ferry to a start point to do an offroad trip instead of riding a long distance on. I bought it in anticipation of some trips next year like the KVR (Kettle Valley Railway), Great Sand Hills in Sask and Cypress Hills in AB/Sask. Plus we have endless wilderness logging roads in BC.

I tried riding the Great Sand Hills a year ago with Schwalbe 1.75's and could make very little headway and began thinking of a fat bike then. I had some time off recently and was going to go on a trip but felt burnt out so I stayed home and spent my vacation money on the bike instead to set myself up down the road.
