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.

We are excited to launch the 5th edition of the Bikepacking Community Survey to support that goal. The survey is open until September 29th, 2024.

We are looking for diverse voices to inform how we support the growth of a supportive and inclusive bikepacking community. This includes everyone from avid to aspiring bikepackers!

We are interested in who you are, what challenges you face, and how Bikepacking Roots can best support you. The survey results will inform our route development, community building, education and advocacy initiatives in the years to come.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Thanks so much for taking the time to make your voice heard! And if you can, share this survey in your networks!
