    Dunno if anyone is interested, but I had never been skiing before trying skibiking and it was excellent fun! :D

    A mate is setting up a new skibike business in Scotland. Doesn't that look like fun? :rock:

    Actually the original photgraph was photoshopped to make the background the same colour as the website. Sc0rian, stop causing trouble and stirring "it" :D

    1337modderman, the world speed record on a skibike is 125mph. Not that slow, especially considering you are closer to the ground and the skis are narrower. More fun anyway, I like bikes. At least you get a seat!

    You skid the rear ski into the snow. You steer like speedway bikes, with the back end pointing outwards and the front ski pointing straight down the slope.

    Pretty cool. I've been skiing since I was about 5. Has anyone snowbladed before? Snowblades are like skis that are cut down. They're small so you can do some awesome tricks. :D

    If it had a slightly padded seat and made for 6'2 people and had some suspension I would ski bike, but there isn't snow in HK anyway's so .. :hehe:

    EDIT : oops nvm, just noticed that there IS suspension on the bike, nice touch :D

    They do have suspension. Leasure bikes have a sprung seat and race bikes have proper suspension springs. :D
