Pfft, doesn't even have a Lauf fork. On second thought, no one around here in their right mind would be running metal bars with those kind of grips, way too cold in the winter, dentist or not. Hell the entire thing is like grabbing an ice-cube if you have to push it or carry it over something. There's a few people with titanium Fatbacks around here that were produced for a few years. Mostly, Ti just seems so cracky.
Looks like a warmer dentist retreat no worries on the setup 
Foam grips, the least heat-transmission.
IMO, a fat-bike is a snow-bike first and foremost. Other uses are just dumb...like why ride a fatbike when you can take your normal bike and just drag around 30lbs of bricks on a rope behind you? Same thing.
In a weird twist, I posted that today on Instagram.

Instagram then informed me that I had posted the "same" picture exactly two years ago.

Not all of us are dentists.
I generally don't find terrain clear enough to do this, there's always too much under-brush or rocks, etc. I can imagine that it's possible in some places. The issue I have is a lot of people look at 5" tires and think it=5" of suspension. It's more like 5" of bump-postponement. If you go real slow, it'll suck up some stuff, but past that speed, it's a rigid bike pounding the hell out of you, and it's rather easy for bikes to pick up this kind of speed. At any significant speed on singletrack, it's ridiculous to pedal and they drag way towards the outside of the turns, making it impossible to carve with any speed. There are several people on MTBR that say they are "faster" on their fatbike, but they must be at a walking-pace all the time on their normal bikes for that to have any possibility of being true. Even for bike-packing adventures, I'd have to think 29+ or 27.5+ would be a far better way to go. I do think that fatbikes "can" be ridden in the summer though, much better than trying to ride a snowboard down a mountain in the summer, so for one-bike people in colder, it could be the ticket. There's beach exploring too, but I think these micro-communities are extremely small/limited.
Pics I took at the 2017 Iditarod. Singlespeed is pretty freaking brave, given against wind in mountain passes and on sea-ice you may only be able to barely pedal a 30x50t:
There's also (for me) pulling a trailer with chainsaw and related tools and supplies for trail work, random mixed media (pavement, gravel, dirt, rock, swamp) jaunts up into the sixty mile range.
If it has pedals and no motor, I'll find a reason to enjoy it.
One difference may be that, based on your posts, you are into competition, whereas I'm not.
Naw, I think the bikepacking thing and long-range stuff is just most suited to "plus" sized tires/bikes, not so much fatbikes. Agree to disagree.
That reminds me, I want to get an E-chainsaw for this spring

DAMMIT EVAN
Ginkgo?
That place is rad!
I am going to do this at work.
Post pics.
Put in the fridge the night before you take vacation or are otherwise not in attendance.
Make some hair float on the top for a better 3-d affect.
fvcking brutal 
Obligatory, spelled “Whisky” wrong...
The spelling whiskey is common in Ireland and the United States, while whisky is used in all other whisky producing countries.
Don't even think of moving that chair.
When I was younger I could make it past the fifth bolt. Just don't look into the streetlight was my strategy. If you jump from below the fifth bolt you will not clear the railing and will break your arm or whatever hits the ground or the railing first. The water squirts you past the piers and if the cop boat sees you in the water they will arrest you for trespassing.
Lived on the 3rd floor. $550/month for 4 bedrooms. The roof party's we had were epic. We built berms in the corners and would race our bikes up there.
I am aware of this fact.
But since im a self proclaimed Whisky connoisseur (aka an alcoholic), Im obligated to tell you the original (Scottish) spelling is Whisky, without the E.
I might have forgiven you if you were Irish.
