Join us on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 7pm PDT, for a unique opportunity to delve into the adventurous world of bicycle backpacking, or as it's often known, bike-packing, with the intrepid cyclist and well-travelled explorer, Emiliana Stein. This event will be hosted on Zoom, bringing the thrill of bike-packing straight to your home.
From Seattle to the picturesque landscapes of Yellowstone, and Seattle to the vibrant lanes of Rosarito MX, from the cultural depths of New Orleans to the sandy beaches of San Diego, Emiliana's two wheels have seen it all on multiple cross-country trips with groups and solo. And now, she's ready to share her wealth of experience and expertise with us. This is a perfect event for both curious beginners looking to embark on their first bike-packing journey and seasoned cyclists in search of fresh insights and inspiration.
Emiliana's talk will focus on her unique concept of bike-packing and offer practical advice on planning, preparation, choosing the right gear, and finding the most suitable bicycle. She'll also touch on how long a bike-packing trip can typically last, potential challenges to expect, and the valuable lessons she's learned throughout her journeys.
Ever since her first bicycle tour in 2014, Emiliana has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible on two wheels. Over the past decade, she has also been an active contributor to the Warmshowers and Adventure Cycling communities, promoting accessibility and inclusivity in the bike touring world. Her rich experiences have been featured on 102.3 WHIV radio and the Bike Life Podcast, as well as educational talks at the Dashing Bicycle shop.
Currently residing in New Orleans as a full-time freelance artist, Emiliana embodies the spirit of adventure and freedom. When she isn't creating beautiful art, she's often pedalling off into the unknown, turning every bit of free time into an exploration of the world on her bike.
Bike Café's virtual evening will last an hour, starting with introductions and leaving 10 minutes at the end for your burning questions. Grab your ticket today, and prepare to be enlightened and inspired!
Embark on this virtual journey with us and discover the world of bike-packing through Emiliana's inspiring lens. With her rich tales and practical advice, you'll be ready to strap a pack to your bike and set off on your own adventure.
