Choosing a bike to travel across Antarctica is like picking the crowbar in a video game weapon arsenal: maybe not the smartest choice, but it’ll make things more interesting. (As if riding from the 89th parallel to the most southerly point on earth wasn’t interesting.) See the snow-covered slideshow here. But let’s back up. First you’re required to attend a fat bike (basically bikes with really fat tires) training camp at Lake Winnipeg. It involves “just” five days of you biking over a frozen lake. If you want to stop there and just do the camp as a stand-alone, that’s fine. Otherwise, come next December, you’re putting that training to use by cycling about 70 miles from the 89°S latitude to the South Pole camp and research station. No actual research required.   Note: The Last Degree via TDA Global Cycling, booking now for December 2016 with a mandatory training camp in February, more info here, see the slideshow     UrbanDaddy is pure editorial.
