bikepacking
"Bikepacking," coined by Noel Grove, a National Geographic staff writer, was first used to describe the Hemistour Bicycling Expedition in NG's May 1973 issue. "Bikepacking Across Alaska and Canada," described a long-distance bicycle tour, partly on gravel and partly on pavement. No weight was carried on the rider's backs--it was all hauled via panniers and handlebar bags, or strapped across the luggage racks. Weight carried varied from 35-60 pounds per rider, depending on the quantity of food and water carried. Hemistour, comprised of 30 riders who rode varying distances, traveled from Alaska to Argentina, and was the first north to south bicycle tour of the Western Hemisphere. The term "bikepacking" has nothing to do with the age of the rider, nor the pace of the rider, nor the number of miles ridden per day. It has more to do with the intention of riding long distance (touring), and being self-sufficient. No rules dictate what bikepacking is, but on Hemistour no motorized support was utilized, most overnights were camping out, and quite a bit of the cooking was done over a camp stove.

bikepacking
Similar to the term “backpacking”, the term “bikepacking” is the sport or activity of exploring new places on your road bike while carrying a backpack. Not to be confused with the word “touring”, which many associate with old people leisurely tooling around with panniers and helmet mirrors at painstakingly slow paces.
“We went on a two-day bikepacking trip from San Fran to Morro Bay. What a beautiful ride along the coast!”

Grindset
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
