    Living in the Netherlands I genuinely don't hate this. Fat bikes are kind of annoying here. The people riding them often go with ludicrous speeds as they have been altered, but without a plate like a speed pedelec should. They're quite dangerous.

    They're also parked quite unhinged as they don't really fit into regular spots. Hopefully people get normal electric bikes now.

      Sorry to hear that, I live in the states and people ride them fairly normally for the most part (at least in my town). I ride an Engwe XP 2 Pro (a fatbike) and it seems to fit in the majority of racks I've encountered though sometimes I end up having to hitch my bike on one side of super skinny racks. Probably helps that I don't live in a big city though and our town is fairly bike friendly.
