Fat Bikes are Built for Riding the Beach

Statesman Journal photo

For years I've wanted a bike suited for riding on the beach, and I've had various ideas on how it might be done. But I'm not really a bike guy, and so it was just a dream. Now some folks have gone and done it, and they're available locally (though not in Lincoln City, business opportunity for someone out there!). They're called Fat Bikes, and they have huge tires made for riding across loose sand without sinking. They also look like great fun.

Unfortunately, they're very expensive. Which is why somebody might just want to take the time and effort to build their own.

 Here's an article about them in the Statesmen Journal.
