Moon landing.

Fat tyre mountain bikes seem to be growing in popularity, and when you see them, they just look *so* inviting to ride. This one is a Moonlander, and it was on display at today's Whinlatter Duathlon, and it would have been interesting to see how it handled the (very dry) red trails. Moonlander runs 4.8˝ tires on 100mm rims, which is massive, and such a large footprint allows you to ride them at very low pressure, which (as with a snowshoe) enables unparalleled traction and float over all kinds of terrain…wet stuff, roots, rocks, pebbles, gravel, sand, and many types of snow. Sounds fun doesn't it?
