About Bill Poindexter

I have been commuting full time and traveling by bicycle for over 24 years and have never had an accident. I have not owned a car for 15 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 4000-6000 miles per year as well for work and play. 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 (What They Don’t Tell You in the Guidebooks) which you can see on Amazon. I also teach bikepacking workshops and guide too.
