Get more beginners out on their first trip
Most bikepacking content is made for people who are already deep in it: full of jargon, €4,000 bikes and 200 km days. Nobody starts there. We write for the nervous, curious beginner, the person with a normal bike and a free weekend who just needs someone to say "here's exactly what to do."
Everything here is built around that person. If a piece of advice wouldn't help a first-timer, it doesn't make the cut.
How we do things
Honest by default · We mark every affiliate link and only recommend gear we'd ride ourselves. Trust is the whole business.
Beginner-first · Plain language, no gatekeeping. We explain the "why" and not just the "what", so you can decide for yourself.
Tested or clearly labelled · We use the gear we recommend. Our routes are curated from officially waymarked cycle paths and checked against beginner criteria, and where we've ridden one ourselves we mark it as such. Where we can't test something, we say so.
