bikepacking

As the pandemic wages on, many of us are struggling to find an answer to the question: When will I safely be able to travel again?

Well, that question is hard to answer. But the good news is you can travel safely right now - and with minimal packing. Grab your backpack, toothbrush, camera and - your bike. Bikepacking will be one of the fastest growing (socially distanced) travel trends of 2021. Bikepacking allows you to explore remote areas, ways to capture the wonder of a backcountry hike or an off-the-beaten track trek.
