Posted May 27, 2017 by Justin

We went on a beautiful tandem bike tour from Lijiang to Chengdu over 1200 km of open countryside.  To facilitate such a trip we had an abundance of gear for every possibility. As I grew up in the Boy Scouts, I follow the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared”. This led to our detailed gear lis...

Cara and I packed up our new coupled tandem into my single bike bag and ...

Tangjia Zhuhai Monthly Night ITT

Posted November 04, 2015 by Justin
