EDGE TRAPS - One thing about Fat Tire bikes in general that you have to watch for is edge traps. It’s a thing with motorcycles and narrow tires. I’m a rider so I was aware of the phenomenon. An edge trap is when there is an obstruction that runs parallel to the wheels. If you veer into the obstruction at a slight angle, the tire will not ride up and over the obstruction, but will become ”trapped“, resulting in a crash. Imagine riding parallel to a railroad rail on a bicycle and gradually steering into it….you get the idea. Anyway, same thing with those fat tires, if you encounter a log or limb about the size of your arm that is parallel or almost parallel to your direction of travel and you try to go over it…that fat tire gets edge trapped and you go down fast. High air pressure in the tires, which helps prevent flats, magnifies the effect because you reduce traction and the ability of the tire to grip and climb over the obstruction. So you have to keep your eyes out for limbs and logs and cross them as near to a perpendicular angle as possible to prevent edge trapping. Also consider running a lower tire pressure if your riding conditions permit.
