Video: Sir Chris Hoy tests fat bike with a ski on the front wheel

Testing in Iceland ahead of bid to ride to the South Pole

Sir Chris Hoy has been glacier fat bike testing in Iceland in preparation for his attempt to cycle to the South Pole.

Hoy revealed his plan on Top Gear recently, describing it as “a strange and huge challenge.” However, he added that he was still trying to find “somebody stupid enough to do it with me.”

Whether or not he’s found such a person yet, it seems as if bike testing at least went well.

And here’s a short bit of footage of what he claims was his first time “skiing”.

Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.
