Picture of the day

Skibobbing is a winter sport involving a bicycle-type frame attached to skis. Although originally a form of transportation in the Alps, skibobbing is now a competitive sport, with contestants often achieving speeds of over 100 mph (160 km/h).

Ski biking needs an update

With the expanded roll of the ASA (american skibike association) in the ski community, and better organization of the 3 ski bike/trike types now accepted at most ski areas it seems this old reference of ski bobbing needs to be updated. Ski bobbing is with 'foot ski's only' and considered a Type-1 bike. Once referred to as peggers, these bikes are called Type-2 where the riders stand on pedals. There are 3 ski versions, or Type-3 trikes such as SnoGo that are also making their impact into the sport. Brenter and Stalmach are the leaders in Type-1, Skibyk and Lenz are the leaders in Type-2 and SnoGo is a popular Type-3 in the USA. I will update when I figure out what direction to go because everything at this point is lumped into skibobbing. Mrhyak (talk) 21:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
