Vehicles that slide on runners across snow and ice, pulled by dogs or reindeer or ridden for sport. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the vehicle a sled, sledge, sleigh or toboggan. It excludes wheeled carts and carriages. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Animal- and Human-Powered Overland Vehicles subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
