This is a parody, right?

I can attest to the fact that he's not the first to ascend Mt. Washington auto road on a bike in the winter. A friend and I biked it under similar conditions in November, 2003 (I was on a 26"er with v-brakes - yikes). Half-way up my water was frozen solid, and I rapidly lost body heat at the summit with 70 mph wind gusts. Biking this road is prohibited and the crew up top were none-to-happy as we reached the summit (though they did take our photo as they'd never seen anyone bike up in the winter). Epic ride, with one sketchy descent!

"My temperature is dropping." Because he's not wearing proper winter clothes! And how many cameramen were there shooting video of this "feat"?
-
what that bike
-
A video about talking about the event. That really made me appreciate the effort...

LameWith these thin gloves, no chance it is that cold or that windy - his legs would freeze with these thin pants he has, even on the climbs. Really no chance to survive a long descend dressed like this, with no mouth protection, with the summer glasses and stuff. I've been doing winter bike climbs myself and know it from experience

Nothing takes the wind out of my sails like the wind does. No matter what I'm doing(skateboarding/snowboarding/biking/running/swimming/surfing) when the wind is pushing against me...I loose my mind. couldn't imagine trying this with that kind of wind. That guy is tough as nails

Why?
-
the hell is a fat bike? what are the benefits of the thick wheels? more traction? i don't understand lol.

Your awesome dude. I just rode in 50 degree weather with the wind blowing hard and was complaining that it was cold and I'm tired. I feel like such a puss after watching what you did. Thumbs up. 👍

Awesome job Tim......I'm sure ur Dad is totally smiling.

It´s just fucking useless and the bike looks terrible.

I planned a vaca through NH VT and Canada on my bicycle and this Mt was supposed to be my last "triumph" of my trip.
that was AFTER a 100 mile bike race. well 2 days after actually.
the guards at the bottom said no way that day. that it was too windy. that it wasn't safe for bicycles that day. or the rest of the week and I didn't have the xtra days to wait. I was so bummed I couldn't climb Mt Washington. I packed extra brake pads and tubes for the trip down. oh well. that was 30 years ago. that old saying that " there's no time like the present" ..... ya. I never got another chance to ride it.
Congratulations Tim on being the 1st to ride it.
