About Bill Poindexter

I have been commuting full time 

and traveling by bicycle for over 

23 years and have never had an accident.

I have not owned a car for 13 years. 

I travel by bike as well. I have ridden 

my bike all over MO and KS, 

across MO, IL, KY, VA on the 

Trans America Trail, 

also from Sante, NM 

over to the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route 

and then north to Banff, Alberta, Canada. 

I have ridden from Missoula to Banff 

as well and back. I 

have also gone from LA south

through Baja, Mexico as well 

and many trips in CO as well. 

I commute in KC about 4000-6000 miles per 

year as well. 

All of my travel trips are “self contained” 

meaning I bring my camping gear, tools, 

and food and water and camp out majority 

of the time. It is called Bikepacking.

I wrote the book, Bikepacking School 

which you can see on Amazon. I 

also teach bikepacking and guide too.

If you’re interested in traveling by bicycle

Please reach out as well. I know my stuff.
