It’s backpacking! It’s biking! It’s bike-packing!
Level up your outdoor adventures by learning how you can plan your own bike-packing trip. Presenters Piper and Mark from Sharing Wheels Community Bike Shop will cover:
- How to get started with overnight bike-packing trips
- How to plan for longer bike-packing tours
- What to expect and how to stay safe when you’re on the road
- Gear you’ll need for your first bike-packing trip
- Plus, a Q&A session!
Piper P. started biking as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Central African Republic and turned to overnight bike-packing adventures on the backroads of the Pacific Northwest when COVID hit. Her motto is “ride for tomorrow.” Read more about Piper here.
Mark M. rode his bike from coast to coast the summer of 2022, starting in Anacortes, WA, and ending in Bar Harbor, ME. He learned a lot about what to do (and not to do) on a multi-week bike tour and is excited to share his experience with other riders! Read more about Mark here.
May is Bike Month! Learn more about Bike Month events from Everett Public Library and Everett Transit at EverettTransit.org/Bikes.
