wow, HUGE tires.

What's with the handlebars? To lean forward more?

Cool bike, the bike shop up by the U has a single speed surly pugsley in stock.

Quite a few of my winter cycling forum members put sheet metal screws in there tires for winter riding:

Solid core tube?

I'd sacrifice my first born for a Pugsly. I don't need one, I just want one.

Pugsleys look rediculously heavy to me. Mostly just the wheels. Never actually picked one up though. Guess it'd be fun to tool around on.

It certainly isn't a race bike, although I've heard of them being used on MTB courses with alot of sand...

[Ross]

ya, good sand bike too.

I didnt know the Large Marge tires fit anything but a Pugsley. The Pugsley rocks! AND it's not all that heavy really but don't take my word for it...I ride a Rocky Mountain RM9 as my 'beater' bike -50#- so what do I care about weight

Actually, you dont want to lean forward more. It's like riding in sand, weight off the front wheel.

We used to ride in the winter a lot in Michigan. A very interesting spin on the sport :-)

been dying to take my RM9 out and bomb the hills under cover of snow but around here you have to wait til its friggin cold to keep the dirt/mud off the wheels....and my tires are 2.7" and very little room SO is best if I ride one of my others setup with the studs....ice riding is fun! Illl have to post some pics when the skating pond ices the rest of the way..what a ball!

[greyhair biker]

Yeah!! Got out this morning and rode the ice & snow with the studly tires!! Cool stuff, actually COLD stuff...rode for an hour - until I couldnt feel my toes anymore & then came home and hopped in my sauna to warm up...good times!
