Special coolnees factor would have been if the tires on both were Conti!

I actually thought I'd probably win the competition, if I combined three great things to one picture: Nice snowy landscape with my fatbike and T3, and the photo taken with Pro1... But the snow melted off and now it is all dark and grey around here. So I'm not changing my entry, but I'd like to share another biking photo. Taken with Pro1, made some slight color correction/sharpening on the phone.

About the picture: Trail biking in the darkness (with a good light ofc) is really fun, and much different than in daylight. The bright and narrow-beamed light makes the trail look like a tube/cave, leaving the forest dark. When you don't see the landscapes around, you hav no need to look around, and this makes a more focused feeling. Also the contrast of light/dark makes the trail look much different than in daylight, so even the most familiar trails feel more exciting. Riding on the frozen/wet (=slippery) duckboards, which go across a small river, in the dark also adds some excitement

Those fat bike tires may be in fact wider than those on my BMW!

That little, shall we call it a "bridge", does look like it'd add to the excitement. I love the ~30 degree bend in the middle! Why?!? To impress the notoriously tough iron curtain Olympic fatbike icebridge event judges?

Great pic, I can tell because it gets my anxiety level rising!

Quite a surfeit of fantastic bike pics this month.

Agreed
Trail biking in the dark is suicidal-ly wicked fun.
and that is a good pic.

Mind you ...with tires with a width like those ...it does take some of the fun out of it ...since the bike can't possibly fall over.

hm ...
I have always had a burning question about such fat bikes...
Is yours a gasoline or diesel engine ocean-going vessel?

Neither. It is all-natural oatmeal engine. Which reminds me about the slogans of some old Finnish bicycle companies: "Only reverse gear is missing!" or "Engine - that's you"

A student in one school where I work build a bike when you turn left turns right and vice versa. For me it was impossible to ride with it. But he learned. He said it took a month and in the middle he couldn't ride well with any bike. And when he finally mastered it he said he can't ride a normal bike anymore. But the good thing was he didn't need a lock in his bike.

I was just ribbing you on how big those tires were ...

I once read an article(?) about a guy who decades ago tried to build an unrideable bicycle. I believe this also included an inverted steering, but he got the "best" result when constructing a frame geometry where the front wheel has negative trail.
