Integrated front and rear lights will have you dialed from dawn patrol to golden hour.

While we have all been using things with rechargeable batteries for years, there are now a lot more items coming with battery power. While most people are comfortable with charging and using something like a cell phone, things like electric cars and bikes are still new for a lot of people. Their batteries are big and expensive. Does how we use and charge our new vehicles affect the life of the batteries, and, if so, how do we maximize our battery life? Are there legitimate safety concerns with larger lithium-ion batteries? While there is no shortage of rabbit holes we could dive into, there are a few reminders that will help keep you safe and keep your e-bike battery happy for many miles.

Whether you are riding around the latest and greatest the bike industry has to offer, an old school relic, or the die-hard four season commuter, admittedly as a cyclist, you care about the bike you are on. Keeping your bicycle running smoothly will only ensure the longevity of the bike, its performance, and the overall enjoyment you will get out of every ride.

While many tunes and services are best left for your friendly local bike shop, the first and foremost is something everyone who rides is capable of maintaining.

Last winter, the Hollenbach family explored 23 cross country ski centers around the state of Vermont, one of the U.S.'s top Nordic destinations. The project was dubbed the “Tour de Hollenbach” - an incredible adventure for Jake, Helen and their 3 year old, Johannes.

In this short video, we catch up with the Hollenbach family as they navigate the fun and challenges of cross country skiing with a 3 year old. Jake and Helen made it a positive experience for their son with appropriate gear, groomed trails and plenty of snacks.

Fischer and Skirack are proud to present #livetoski “Tour de Hollenbach”.
