No hating on my mods allowed. Yes, it's duct tape.

The Force is strong with this bike.
With studded fat tires and mid-drive, no need to wish away the time, even if it is winter! 😁
It's not just snow, it's the darkness as well. It's quite lonely out there in the pitch black forest with just your headlights. I'm also pretty much just limited to the trails people have walked on where as during summertime I can drive where ever I please.
Well if they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Duct tape is fine. I don't understand why people are obsessed with fat tired recently.
Because for third of the year I'm riding in deep snow.
Iz fun
Cool although funny to me because winter is much better for cycling weather here than summer is! Way too hot!
We had one winter here with freezing weather and no snow and that was great for bike riding. Knee deep snow changes everything then.
The accidental forced perspective of the image made my brain see it as a 30+ foot tall bike as I scrolled past.

You say that like duct tape isn't in all of our houses, just waiting to be useful in one of ten thousand ways.
Here it's adding color contrast, presumably in a way the rider likes, and it makes cleaning up easier while also giving some minor protection against light scratching.

I can't wait to take my ebike out. My wife and I managed to get a couple suburb rides in while my truck was busted, but then it got too cold for her and too snowy for me, but once it's warm and dry enough we are heading to the nearest trail.
Those wheels/tires look like a nightmare for technical mountain riding with all that weight all the way at the edge of the rotational mass.
Looks like a fantastic bike for some chill cruising though.
My hardtail is much more nimble than this, but then again; with those tires it don't need to be. I can just drive over what I'd otherwise be trying to avoid. Technical trail (not downhill) riding is what I almost exclusively do. It's not fast but it's consistent.
Do you ride in sand often?
Rarely and almost never by necessity. I needed the wide tires for snow originally but I've barely touched my other bike since.
