We’re currently working on Issue 16 of The Bikepacking Journal, our one-of-a-kind print publication, destined for member mailboxes all across the globe this summer. As always, it’s filled with a rich mix of carefully curated stories, essays, and imagery from bikepacking adventures that span everything from high alpine terrain in far-flung destinations to remote deserts and backroads closer to home. It’s a diverse and thoughtfully assembled collection that reflects the spirit of adventure at the heart of what we do. However, before we can finish, we need your help deciding on a cover photo. Please take a moment to review the two options below and cast your vote!

Across 160 beautifully printed pages, Issue 16 brings together a talented group of contributors who share their experiences through immersive storytelling and evocative imagery. It will be going to press in May, and we’re looking forward to getting it into the hands of our Builder- and Sustainer-level members soon.

Only in Print

We remain committed to creating a physical publication that feels intentional and lasting—something to sit with, revisit, and enjoy away from a screen. The stories featured in The Bikepacking Journal are exclusive to print, produced with care at a world-class facility in Germany. It’s a project we take pride in and believe adds lasting value to the broader Bikepacking Collective experience.
