PRM 226 - Bikepacking

This field-based course introduces the art of bikepacking. Relevant skills include: bicycle handling and maintenance; bag packing and placement; trip planning and navigation. The course emphasizes joy and comfort over speed, elevation, and distance. While on a mini bikepacking expedition, we’ll further explore bike-tripping styles, the role of the bicycle in society, and the importance of human-propelled travel in the mitigation of climate change.
