Hi Everyone,

Hoping to get a few suggestions on brands/models to consider. I ride pretty much all year around about 45m - 90m per day. It's leisurely riding, mostly on paved road with occasional detours over non paved surfaces. I've been riding an old Cannondale Comfort hybrid for a long time and want to move to a Fat Tire bike so I can cruise on the beach. Any suggestions on brands ? Appreciate any thoughts or recommendations - thank you !
 
I have had a Minnesota Fat 3.0 with 4" tires and just gave it to my son in law. It was used exclusively on sand and twice in the snow. Absolutely no need to upgrade the fork for suspension and it was a great performer on sugar sand in the NJ Pine Barens.

Currently my favorite bike is a Minnesota 27.5" (Marquette?) also good in the sand with more maneuverability on trails. Again, not sure the suspension upgrade is needed, would do rims instead.

Even if off topic or a diferant type of fat bike, from Forked River Mountai, all 200 feet above sea level.

Welcome aboard. Post up pics of your bike(s). 45-90 minutes every day? Thats great to have the time and place for that.
