The Solution: Craig Bierly’s Wanderlust Way

Our friend Craig Bierly popped up in Vimeo’s Staff Picks list this morning. We met Craig back in 2015 and published Are You Nuts!?, a short story about him and his lifestyle. Since then, we’ve caught up with Craig on several occasions for rides, dinners, and beers, but then the pandemic happened and we haven’t seen him. It was nice to see this pop up. Freehub recently made this lovely film following Craig across the western US. Their description sums it up nicely: “You can buy just about anything in this world but time, and Craig Bierly is a man who truly understands the sacred and finite gift of time. After dedicating 26 years of his life to the aerospace industry, he could have comfortably retired to a sedentary life in a big house, but he opted instead for a nomadic life in his van—long before #vanlife became a hipster trend and hashtag. More than a decade after his retirement, Bierly is still on the road, chasing his dream of riding as much United States singletrack as he possibly can until his own time on the Earth runs out.”

I realized having my time and little money was more important than having money and little time.
