Take a bike. Remove both wheels. Bolt on short skis in their place. Get on. Holler with delight.
That pretty much sums up the incredible sport of ski biking.
How it all began
Ski bikes (or Skibobs) have been around since 1892, but the first international race only took part in 1954.
There's now a world championship (at the last count, there were 14 countries un the competition) and a world cup circuit. There's also an official governing body - the FISB (Fédération Internationale de Skibob).
Try ski biking
This is a fairly specialist sport, so it's not always easy to find tuition in the UK. You'll also need to warn lift operators that you plan to ski bike. That's why we'd recommend using a specialist ski biking tour operator, for your chance to try this incredible sport.
