Hi there,
I just wanted to share with you all, this great new mountain bike kit I bought ,so that I can ride alongside my son and husband in the snow! There are some resorts starting to let mountain bikers use these now ! It is the coolest thing! Its called a KTRAK. It just takes minutes to put on your bike and I am thinking eventually it would be nice to get one for the whole family, since you can use it in any type of snow! Check out their website :www.ktrakcycle.com
I just saw it featured on the Daily Planet show last night!
You can also google it to see videos and pics of it.
cheers everybody!

i'd give it about a week before some jackass killed themselves sonny bono style on one of those

It sounded pretty simple on the show last night..... i am headed to the mountain this weekend to try it! i will let you know how it worked out ! you can use your brakes with this thing too,..so it can't be THAT crazy dangerous..

wouldn't it be much cheaper to buy a snowboard/ski setup and take lessons than the cost of that 'modification'? Also...how do you get it up the slope on a chair-lift

lisevolution

I would definitely hurt myself with a set up like that!

i saw a french guy at jay peak using one of these. He was doing pretty good, but i wouldnt try it, i would probably break my neck

They let you use those things at the mountain? They look pretty cool, but I think I would avoid anything downhill on something like that. I can see myself dying pretty quickly on that contraption.

Carbine

About $400 for the set...I dont even have a bike any more.
When I was younger I put a ski on the front of my bike and put studs in the rear, I was a bitch to ride.

Ide like to see that thing go up a lift

Mr. Right

There are a lot of lifts in Colorado that have bike hooks on them for the summer time. A good number of mountains out here have mountain bike trail systems for the summer. Without them it would be a pain in the ass for sure though.
