hello! I’m Becky
The girl behind
two wheeled wanderer
As you might have gathered, I love bikes – particularly full-suspension ones, but a simple beach cruiser can be just as fun. I also love to travel and together, these two passions are the perfect match to explore the world!
My Mission:
It is my hope with Two Wheeled Wanderer to inspire you to get out and explore the world by the seat of a bike.
Whether your idea of a two-wheeled adventure involves lift-served DH bike parks or a casual pedal along a stunning bike path, I hope you find something on these pages to inspire your next adventure!

here are a few of my favorite Two Wheeled Adventures…
- Mountain biking in Sedona. Sedona is hands down my favorite place to ride! The trails and views are simply amazing. I try to get back every year because I love it so much.
- Biking across Washington. A friend and I spend almost two weeks pedaling across the state from the Pacific Ocean on the Olympic Peninsula to Spokane in eastern Washington.
- Exploring Squamish, BC with my dad. Neither of us had really mountain biked in the Pacific Northwest and we both fell in love with the loamy trails and epic views!
- Bike touring around Ecuador. This was quite a few years ago, but it remains one of my all-time favorite bike trips. I’d love to recreate it sometime in the near future!
How I got here…
01. The Early years
I was fortunate to grow up with parents that love to travel. Every year during our spring or winter break they would take my brother and I on two-week adventures around the world. We went spelunking in Belize, skiing in Switzerland, white water rafting in the Dominican Republic, zip-lining in Costa Rica, and so much more. I loved every adventure and never wanted to come home!
02. School & College
During my senior year of high school, I did a study abroad in New Zealand where I got a taste of independent travel and the opportunities that it could provide. Then during my junior year of college, I went abroad to Kenya and Tanzania for a full year. It was beyond amazing!
03. my 20’s
Not wanting to give up my freedom for a 9-5 job, after college I bought a one-way ticket to Hawaii where I spent several months enjoying the laidback vibes of Maui. About two months after landing in Hawaii, I discovered Lindblad Expeditions and spent the next decade sailing aboard a fleet of small National Geographic cruise ships. In between contracts, I would travel to far-off places like Laos, Colombia, and Russia just to name a few.
04. My 30’s & Today
After a quarter-life crisis where I thought I should “get a real job” which led me to a masters degree in Nutrition, I found my way to the Eastern Sierra of California and it was there that I really got (back) into biking. I’ve always loved cruising around on two wheels and I did some mountain biking growing up, but it wasn’t until 2016 that I rediscovered my love for bikes. Now, bikes and two-wheeled adventures are what get me up in the morning and I’m excited to share my travels with you!
