if they trade wiggins or KAT they ' re out their fucking minds , i feel the same way about lavine too , they should try to do a rubio package deal instead with the way they ' ve been playing lately to try to get a wing that can shoot . <| sep |> Avid fatbike here . Commuting will work ok but don ' t think it will be easy with fresh snow . If snow is packed you will be as quick as you would be on a MTB on a gravel road . If there is fresh snow you will be slow . They will not easily float over any major depths , it turns into a lot of work . Just for an example a local single track trail last season took just over 20 min when packed and hard but could easily be over an hour if it was deeper fresh snow . It also takes an incredible amount of energy when you are doing that the deep snow is probably 34 x as hard to deal with . To me I ' d rather commute that distance on skinnies with studs for the efficiency assuming it ' s feasible . If you are on the roads and there is car traffic you could be ok if you feel safe riding with traffic at slow speeds .
