Kathmandu 360 with Cory Wallace

We are very excited to share a project by Cory Wallace about his Kathmandu 360 ride in Nepal. The route Cory rode was 100 miles of gravel and chunky dirt with 18,000 ft of elevation gain.

The Waheela C was perfect for the terrain and chunky gravel … Continue reading Kathmandu 360 with Cory Wallace

The Bike Listening Tour: My Attempt to Reimagine Adventure

Words and photos by Andrew Mohama The last time I biked across the United States, my perspective of the bicycle began to shift. The bike is not just a machine continually optimized for efficiency and nimbleness; it’s a vessel for connection and understanding. What I remember the most from those 70 days of taking the scenic route 4,500 miles across the U.S. has nothing to … Continue reading The Bike Listening Tour: My Attempt to Reimagine Adventure
