A mountain bike for the snow!


Here on the central California coast, we can ride year round without worrying about snow. For others, the winter snow covers their favorite riding spots and they may have to put the bike away for the winter and take up another sport. Now we have the Ktrak. Check out the video by clicking on the What the heck is Ktrack link.

Leave it to the crafty Canucks in BC to figure out a way to ride all year round. This just demonstrates that BC riders are pushing the sport in new directions.

This device raises all sorts of access and advocacy issues. How do you advocate to get these machines on the chair lifts? At least there is a possibility of actually riding up the mountain.

The Ktrak redefines the term "freeriding".
