Velogemel Swiss Ski Bike: Still being built 111 years later just the same!

[New Mexico Brant]

How many things are being built 111 years later virtually the same? This adult model came my way a couple days ago. Beautiful wood pegged mortice and tendon construction. You can still buy one for 590 Swiss francs!

Current Velogemel website:

Der Erfinder des Velogemel - Holzkreation Schmid Grindelwald

1911 erfand Bühlmann den Velogemel in Grindelwald. "Einspuriger lenkbarer Sportschlitten" nannte er seine Erfindung in der Patentschrift.

If you got snowed in you could always use it as fire wood too.
