Traveling to colder weather in search of snow in the Bikecar
Try as I might, I just couldn't introduce this story any better than they did themselves on their site.
"Travis Parker, Louie Fountain and Scotty Wittlake approached travel differently this past winter. Putting snowmobiles and 4x4's to shame, the crew traveled across the Northwest through Idaho, Washington and Oregon in a bikecar. A bikecar? One may ask. Yes, a four person pedal powered vehicle was the vessel of adventure this season. Pulling a trailer with snowboards and gear, the crew pedaled in search of snow. Documenting all the trials and tribulations of this trip was filmmaker Joey Fountain, formerly of Robot Food. Bikecar is a one of a kind documentary, which brings a new perspective to travel, adventure and snowboarding."
Yes, three men looking to snowboard pedaled across three states in a vehicle they call the bikecar. If you are interested in knowing more, you are in luck. This is a documentary, and you can purchase the DVD and watch the story of their trip. Get your popcorn ready!

Looks like a home made contraption with all the aerodynamics of a brick. A headwind could spell big trouble...
