About ME
My name is Tristan Bogaard, I’m from the Netherlands. Having grown up in a country where bicycles are a norm instead of something unusual, I’ve always been fond of riding bicycles. But it wasn’t until the summer of 2014 that I found out cycling could be so much more than just commuting. After my first long-distance bicycle tour from New York to Los Angeles, I knew it was something I wanted to do for a long time to come. Six moths later I embarked on a bikepacking trip around western Europe, which lasted 14 months and launched all of the journeys that have followed ever since.
My mission is simple: create visual material that makes people want to travel by bicycle (more). On this site you’ll find a selection of routes, photos and videos with relevant links, as well as products and references to other projects that I hope inspire you to take your bicycle out for a spin. From your home to the grocery store, the edge of town, neighboring country and beyond.
I’d like to invite you along these rides and hope you’ll enjoy what I’ve seen out there.
