Ski bikes

If an e-bike counts for Freezing Saddles, why not a ski bike. Isn’t this all about getting people outdoors?

Oh! In that case, can runs count? Asking for a friend.

Should I start Strava’ing when I put out the trash and recycling? What about ironing?

This is so absurd I can’t stop laughing. Thank you. w&w

Excellent point. E-bikes shouldn’t count.

All dog walks count double!

hehehe… as if there’s any fair comparison to be made between a pedal-able (even those e-assisted) bicycle, and a seat with handlebars mounted on 3 skies, moved only by gravity’s downward pull…

So, is it the wheels or the pedaling that make a ride valid? Like, would “rides” on this thing count? (like Sunyata, I am asking for a friend)

So distances coasting downhill on a bicycle don’t count in Freezing Saddles?

bicycle. from cycle, wheel, thing that goes round and round. Bi – two.

Wait – does that mean my #kidical rides don’t count because I have a third wheel thanks to the trailercycle? Or do they count extra because of the added load? Or just uphill (multiply by the grade)? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

So why do you want to exclude SteveO on his unicycle and someone on their tricycle?

I sense you’re baiting, but hey…
It it isn’t about coasting… it is more about the “ski bike” being a chair on skis, which requires the the pull of gravity for its movement.
When you’re done coasting down a hill on a bike and you eventually roll to a stop, as you know, the pedals are there to use in order to continue moving.
On the “ski bike” device, you pick it up and carry it or drag it to your next destination/hill. Maybe on flats, you can adopt a Flintstones’ style feet-pushing-along-the-ground for a bit.
So “bike” as a term for that kind of device is pretty ill-suited (understandable really only in the visual context that you sit on it like a bike, to ride, and steer it like a bike, with handlebars while gravity is moving it — a chair, a barstool, a sofa… on skis.)

This counts. Anything that is not under sized for the rider, and covered in large amounts of rust just makes things too easy. Cheating. Sad.
