Advocacy
Dylan (he/him, Kansas City, Missouri) is a lifelong outdoors lover who found a whole new way to connect with nature through cycling. What started as a simple way to get outside quickly turned into a deep passion for bikepacking, a way to explore both the rugged, remote singletrack trails and the long, winding gravel roads that stretch across the Midwest.
Cycling has completely reshaped how he sees the world and has given Dylan a newfound appreciation for the landscapes of the Midwest, its subtle beauty, hidden wildness, and the rich public lands that too often go overlooked.
Dylan is passionate about getting more people on bikes and helping them discover the joy, freedom, and perspective that comes with moving through the land on two wheels. Whether it’s sharing gear tips, route ideas, or stories from the trail, he’s always excited to bring new folks into the bikepacking world.
Most importantly, Dylan believez in speaking loudly for quiet places, using his voice and platform to advocate for the protection of public lands. These spaces belong to all of us, and Dylan is committed to defending them so future generations can experience the same wonder he’s found in the saddle.
