TWO NEW ROUTES

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 months later I embarked on a bikepacking trip around western Europe, which lasted 14 months and launched all the journeys that have followed ever since.

My mission is simple: create the routes and photos that make people want to travel by bicycle (more). On this site you’ll find a selection of these 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.
