Summary

We are back with round 2 of Bikes vs. Skis, where our bike editor, Noah Bodman, and I ask the question, “Which particular bike company is most like which particular ski company?”

And the response to Bikes vs Skis, Part 1 certainly warmed our hearts, since we learned that a lot of you wonder about these sorts of questions, too. Noah and I talk about a number of your suggestions in this episode, so listen up to see where we think you had the better answer, and where we think you are clearly crazy.

Here in Part 2, Noah offers his rather surprising vote for the “best looking bikes ever made"; we discuss which bike is the equivalent of the Moment Bibby / Wildcat / Blister Pro; and we give our take on another 20+ bike companies.

Today on the podcast, we are back with part two of Bikes versus Skies, where our bike editor, Noah Bodmin and I,

0:25.1

dive deep down the rabbit hole of gear nerdery to ask the question, which particular bike company

0:30.9

is most like which particular ski company?

0:34.4

And ever since part one of Bikes versus Skies, it has certainly warmed the cockles of our

0:39.0

gear nerd hearts to find out that a whole lot of you wonder about these sorts of questions

for the best-looking bikes ever made, to hear us debate which bike is the equivalent of

on another 20 or so additional bike companies. This episode of Gear 30 is presented by

1:40.4

Team Disappointment. Actually, team disappointment is so disappointing they didn't even sponsor

this episode. But this episode is made possible by the 750 plus miles of trail in the Gunnison
