I need to convince my dad, who he building a chalet in the alps, to get a bike for it.
The village it's in does not like cars in the old part where the chalet is, and in the winter, there's snow on the street that isn't cleared or salted, it's cold enough that is remains nice and white for the winter months. The ski slopes are 1km away so walking there in ski boots is not an option (shuttle bus :( ). So this bike would serve the following duties: carry luggage from car to chalet twice a week, carry skis, poles, boots to the slopes, grocery shopping.
two options:
A long tail bike such as a Big Dummy, Kona Ute, or a Yuba
A fat bike with a sled or trailer
