Announcing The Bikepacking Journal 14

We’re hard at work on the 14th issue of The Bikepacking Journal, our biannual print publication. This one is shaping up nicely, set to be filled with captivating stories, essays, artwork, and photography from bike adventures across the Tibeten Plateau, along the Outlaw Trail in the Western U.S., around New Zealand, connecting the Route of Caravans in Morocco, and much more.
