Bikes have changed my life and I know they’ll change yours too.
Adventure Bikepacking
Bikepacking is backing on a bike where adventure and exploration is the main goal. In the bike world there are many different disciplines that you can dabble in and this is the one I most connect with because I already enjoy camping. I frequently ride established routes and love to spend time mapping out new routes for others to ride. To me, heading into the backcountry on my bike seems is some of the best fun you can have on two wheels.
Transportation
Bikes are one of the most equitable forms of transportation available. While busses, trains, and other public transit continues to cost you money every time you use it a bike is a one time cost for as much use as you desire to get out of it. Wether you’re using a bike by its self or using it as a system of intermodal transport, using a bike to get around improves all aspects of your life.
Intimate Storytelling
Bikes are an equitable form of transportation and attracts all types of humans. They bring people together and they enable us to take control of our story in a way that is equal to everyone. People tend to do extrordinary things with their bike. I’ve found found that my new passion around bikes has lead me to tell stories where the bike is a crucial element in the story.
