I have never ridden one, but is it correct to assume that the dry-pavement pedaling effort would be significantly higher, due to the increased rolling resistance of the fat tires?
Oh yes, much much higher...they're quite a challenge, and you know, if you're doing a 20k ride to work, its not going to work for you.
On the other hand they roll over ANYTHING...it's kind of neat to ride, if your ride includes unplowed trails, probably no problem for a fat bike, where most other bikes would be a huge struggle.
