Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have CMT 1A and I don't have strong enough legs to ski, but I've wanted to find a way to join my wife in winter sports. I tried a ski bike this weekend at a local ski area. It is essentially similar to a small bmx bike with skis for wheels. I thought it was great! They make different kinds of ski bikes, some where you are supposed to ride them with small skis attached to your feet. The one that I rode allowed you to rest your feet on pegs and wear regular hiking boots. I did use my legs/feet to help turn and stop. My wife and I did 3 runs (all green/easy). Negotiating the chair lift took a little time (you have to rest the back of the bike on the seat and hold it (the bike probably weighed about 30 lbs). By our third time up, everything went pretty smoothly. Anyway, if you have a ski area close by that rents ski bikes I would recommend giving them a try (I went to Brundage Ski area in McCall). If you are interested in them you can do a search of " Ski Bike " . Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
