  • Keep it up!

    I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I found Bikepack Adventures upon returning home from my second bike tour (France to Istanbul) and it’s been really nice to listen to stories/ still feel connected to the bike travel community as my trip ends and I transition back to ‘regular’ life… and maybe start dreaming about the next trip!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tea and Grit: A Bicycle Journey Along the Silk Road, by Helen Watson
Q: What do you remember most vividly about your time in Syria, and what was your understanding of the country's people and political situation prior to or as you were going in there?
Watson remembers frequent invitations for tea and feeling safe among ordinary people, while also recognizing Syria's repressive government and police-state conditions. They were followed by security services near Palmyra, but the later violence and war were not apparent during their visit.
Tea and Grit: A Bicycle Journey Along the Silk Road, by Helen Watson
Q: Where did the idea for the journey come from?
Watson says a lifelong interest in adventure and overland travel shaped the idea. Seeing the Berlin Wall fall as a child reinforced her interest in traveling east across Eurasia, and she and Ed chose China as their destination.
One Gear, No Limits: Félix Laberge FKTs the Tour Divide
Q: How do you maintain consistency over such a long two week period like on a single speed versus I guess any other bike?
He says the first days require restraint, then a routine takes over: ride steadily, make efficient resupply stops, choose a sleep location ahead of time, and get roughly three to five hours of sleep.
One Gear, No Limits: Félix Laberge FKTs the Tour Divide
Q: How do you manage your pacing when you're single speeding? Are you focusing on an RPM ratio, or is it just how your body feels, or power?
Laberge says pacing comes naturally from the gear and terrain. He reads his energy and the climb, pushing punchy sections and walking when a long climb is too steep to ride.
Episode 246 - The Bikepack Pro App with Matthew Trinneer
Q: How does Bikepack Pro handle privacy and telemetry?
He intentionally avoided real-time location tracking and telemetry, allowing anonymous use and only collecting non-identifiable usage metrics on iOS. This preserves rider privacy while still providing useful data for the developer.
