Announcing The Bikepacking Journal 15

We’re currently wrapping up the 15th issue of The Bikepacking Journal, our biannual print publication, which we’ll ship to our members around the world later this year. This one is shaping up as beautifully as ever, and it’s bursting at the seams with the year’s most compelling stories, essays, and photography from bikepacking adventures across the high mountains of Kyrgyzstan, the vast deserts of Algeria, the rugged backroads of South America, the glaciers of Iceland, the rolling coast of Portugal, and many other dreamy destinations.

As the longest-running reader-supported site in the cycling world, BIKEPACKING.com is only made possible because of our members.

In the 160 colorful pages of our 15th issue, we travel alongside a talented group of writers, photographers, and artists as they share their adventures through an unexpected mix of the world’s most stunning landscapes. We can already smell the ink dying and look forward to sharing it with our Builder- and Sustainer- level members.

We’re passionate about creating something tangible that you can hold in your hands and savor with your morning coffee, and the complete collection of stories featured in The Bikepacking Journal is exclusively available in print. No expenses are spared in its production at our world-class production facility in Germany, and we’re committed to making it feel like something special that’s worth the wait when it arrives two times each year.
