Hello! I am looking for my first bike. It would be my primary mode of transportation (although my husband does have a vehicle when needed). My budget is up to ~2000$ CAD. I live in Canada, in an area where snow and ice are around for half of the year, so I would likely need to get a fat tire bike.
I have been recommended the Rocky Mountain Blizzard ( https://bikes.com/en-ca/collections/blizzard ). What are your thoughts? Any other suggestions?

Fat tire bike addresses some issues but causes more. For instance the other half of the year is likely going to be very slow going.
Winter is very hard on bikes (just like everything else). Are you going to be cleaning it regularly and/or riding it as much as you want – plan for a full replacement of chain and cassette every year at minimum and therefore buy something with cheap replacement parts.
