sure is a lot of dirt in there for a "roadbike" tag line. looks interesting. then again the only cycling mag I tend to read these days is paved. and I hardly ever road ride.

It's more of a bikepacking mag. As far as know it's the only one like that. Bikepacking is the new cool thing in the mountain bike world! No it's not fatbikes….

what about bikepacking on a fatbike?

that makes it a little less cool:P

bike packing is not new, in fact its almost as old as the bike itself. I get a chuckle of the trend overloaded bikes slogging around the "back country", mostly in places where you can ride from any one point to any other point in around 8 hours. my motto, after a few years slogging around with an over loaded bike in some remote zones is this: the less you carry, the fast you go, the less you need.

this put a warm smile on my face this summer.

if your going to go "bikepacking" at least realize its childs play.

self supported rides are fun in all forms.

still some of those large touring trips look pretty rad in that mag. anyway its cool bike culture

I rode for 3 weeks along the coast of south africa when i was young and dumb. bot a bike for 300 bux sold it three weeks later for 250. just a backpack and plastic pop bottles for water bungeed to the frame.

today id have all the toys

agreed. and that sounds like a rad trip. I'm in need of an over seas, two wheeled, adventure. been too long.

2 Munchkins + Career = reading about cool trips in a magazine.
