Bikepacking & Touring
Bikepacking and bicycle touring are, in my opinion, among the best ways to see the world. I’ve gone on a number of trips from simple overnighters to multi-day international adventures. Wherever your two wheels take you, find all the information you need to plan your next bikepacking or bicycle touring trip here.

What’s the difference?
Bikepacking is typically off-road and involves carrying all your gear on your bike, making it ideal for those who enjoy camping and exploring remote trails. On the other hand, bike touring usually involves longer distances on paved roads and can be self-supported or guided and riders usually stay in hotels, hostels, or bed & breakfasts.
