From a member of Paris local government: «Tomorrow, we'll be saying to motorists, “Here's where you can drive, on this car-lane.” Everything else will be for pedestrians and cyclists.» - eviltoast

    Fat bikes are bikes with wide tires. The wide tire acts as a sort of suspension in effects. They’re fun as hell especially when you hit potholes, but idk why people are using them on streets for transport, they’re far more of a fun bike

        Oh that’s stupid. I’ve ridden a non assisted fat bike once and loved it, but it really is a toy bike. You’re far better off with a road bike that has some shocks if you aren’t using it for shit like dune riding or something like that.

        I’m not saying every bike should be ultra focused on the custom stuff. I grocery shop with a gravel bike, but different bike styles exist for a reason
