OK, take this with a huge pinch of salt.... and I'm no expert, and this can classify as hearsay, but I can report this from my friend who has plus and fat bikes: when I asked him which bike he liked the best he said he liked plus bikes the best. He thought the fatbikes were a little too specialized for his tastes, whereas the plus bike hit the sweetspot for him. I cycle with him regularly, and I can only recall him cycling with the fat bike a couple of times, all other times he brings his plus bikes.

As you’ve probably noticed I’m super receptive to insight - I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t! I’m still debating a fat bike for the sheer fun factor reported, but trying to test ride on is proving tricky.
I already have two road bikes, one for touring and commuting, one for going as fast as I can on as steep a gradient as I can find. I recognise the need for the right tool for the job, even if some are used to hitting everything with a hammer.
Keep the ideas flowing! They all help!
