Someone who needed a new wheel for his barrow but was away from home at the time and didn't quite know the required size?

 

[Bimble]

Do they run many TT's on sandy beaches?

 

[mustang1]

Someone who has been sucked in to the "wider tires reduce rolling resistance" marketing and tries to convince everyone that compared to their road bike, the speed difference is just marginal.

It is a one off, looks like a bit of fun to me.

Not TT (that I know of), but beach racing is definitely "a thing".

 

[Lonestar]

Is that an ice bike?

 

[cosmicbike]

Same people that got sucked into the fat bikes being the best thing since sliced bread....

There's an annual World Champs beach race over in Holland that's a lot of fun.
And Battle on the Beach is every spring down in South Wales

Fat Bikes are great fun

I'll be taking mine over to Iceand this July for a weeks riding and I can't wait

Looks a bit of a beast and I'm sure it would be good fun to ride.

I wouldn't buy it but would happily take it off their hands.

Right there, you have invented a whole new cycle sport!

 

[Saluki]

Is it for TTs where the local council ignores all the potholes?
I know that fat bikes are a lot of fun, I just can't get over the worry of a fairy visit and having to get the back tyre off!

Someone with too much money and a complete lack of taste?
