Indiana Schulz | Cycling Kindness
Description
In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I catch up with Indiana Schulz, while he is taking a few days off in Anchorage, Alaska after starting his 7 years around the world Cycling Kindness Adventure on May 15th. Indiana's journey into bikepacking began in the mid-2010s and in that time he has competed in and completed some of the toughest bikepacking races in the United States, including the Bikepacking Triple Crown, which refers to the completion of all three classic dirt bikepacking routes in the USA: the Arizona Trail Race, Great Divide Mountain Bike Race, and the Colorado Trail Race. On the tail end of these adventures, Indiana decided to follow his passion and to go on a multi-year bikepacking trip around the world so as to share his most valuable resource with the people he meets along the way: kindness. I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you happen to live in the general area of where Indiana will be cycling, don't hesitate to reach out and take some time to ride bikes with him.
