so winter will soon be upon us. maybe. this usually means less biking for myself. i have never gottin into skiing or snowboarding and have felt like it's a bit too late for me to want to, considering all my friends have been doing it for years.
i have known for awhile about bike contraptions inabling your mountain bike to have skis instead of wheels. that has always looked kind of sketchy and is expensive.
then i came upon www.crighton.com to see their product.
it's basically about the size of a large bmx or cruiser, kind of like a street mtb size. pretty beefy lookin. steel main frame, bmx bar, real headset.
then i found one on ebay for a killer deal. they retail for $240 which still doesn't seem to bad, but i got it for $140 new in box.
The website says that snoqualimie and baker allow open access for these things, so i geuss they maybe have seen some sort of bike ski devices before on our passes. it does not list stevens tho. if stevens did not allow them it would say no access, but they just aren't listed. so hopefully they havn't even heard of them yet and may allow them.
but anyways i wanted to see what the local scene here thinks of this sort of thing. it looks really fun to me, should ride similar to a bike too.
so, who's with me?!?
(looks like they can take a pounding)
