The Bikepacking Journal Issue 02
After months of seeking out the best bikepacking writing and photography from around the world, we’re almost ready to launch our second issue of The Bikepacking Journal. It’s packed with a fresh collection essays and stories, all in the full glory of print! Read on for a peek inside, along with details on how to subscribe before the April 17th cutoff…
Made Possible By
We had no idea what to expect when we launched the inaugural issue of The Bikepacking Journal last fall, and we’ve been floored by its reception. So it’s with enthusiasm and pride that we present this second 148-page collection of pedal-powered writing and photography from around the world.
This time around, we dig deeper into a range of themes and questions. What responsibility do we have to the places we pedal through? To the people whose everyday lives intersect our journeys? How does failure shape our mindset for future endeavors? What can we learn from the people who blazed trails before us? Our contributors take us further into new experiences and unfamiliar territory. They also find fresh meaning in places they’ve pedaled countless times before.
