[Closed] Is anyone planning buying a fatbike next year, or is it all hype?

I want one a lot, however I should be moving to Colorado in a couple of years so I'm going to have to wait until then I think.
The OnOne bike which was posted the other day looked nice, though not available yet.

starting to think a fatbike might suit our "trails"

So a road bike will be faster on the road than a fat bike? ๐Ÿ˜

No, it's just you can't ride them there. At all.
More pathetic rules from the UCI to stop riders switching to fatbikes for the big mountain climbs in major tours. Too much advantage from rolling resitance and also the aerodynamic benefit of sheltering behind a wide tyre.
