Who we are

Two riders, one road

Independent bikepacking journalism from Gothenburg — the routes, the gear and the stories, told honestly.

The Bikepack

As long as you're on that bike

We're passionate advocates of all things bicycle, and at the heart of our philosophy is a simple belief: it doesn't matter how far you ride, how steep the terrain is, or how fast you go — as long as you're on that bike! So, why wait? Let's hit the road and keep those pedals spinning!

Photography & words

Does a bit of everything — rides, tests, shoots, writes — but leans toward the camera and the keyboard. Behind most of the photographs here, and the one who turns a long day in the saddle into the story you actually read.

Routes & gear

Does a bit of everything too — but he's the engine of the two. The fast one, strong on the climbs and first to the top, always off the front scouting the next line and the next reason to keep pedalling.
