Since before Bikepacking Roots launched as an organization back in 2016, we have regularly been taking the pulse of the bikepacking community so we can tailor our programming to the needs of the community.
In September 2024, we launched the 5th edition of The Bikepacking Community Survey to gain input from a diverse audience from avid to aspiring bikepackers to inform how we foster the growth of a supportive and inclusive bikepacking community.
We were interested in who bikepackers are, what challenges they face, and how Bikepacking Roots can best support them. As a national non-profit supporting the bikepacking community, the survey has informed the future of our route development, community building, education and advocacy initiatives.
Over 900 people completed the survey, from experienced to aspiring bikepackers, from all over the United States, Canada, and the world!
We gained great insights into who our audience of bikepackers are, how you like to ride, and what barriers you face to getting out there. Responses have directly informed our 2025-2027 Strategic Plan.
