Barry Lachapelle | Bike Gear Database

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I'm joined by Barry Lachapelle as we sit back and talk bikes for a couple hours. We dive into his journey of bike travel, his years living abroad all over the world and how the original vision of Bike Gear Database morphed into what it is today. Throughout the episode, Barry talks about what keeps him motivated to ride bikes as often as possible, the struggles of running this passion project, while still making time for family, work and riding bikes. This conversation really ran the gamut, and time flew by so fast I was hardly aware of it. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Barry and Bike Gear Database.Enjoying the podcast?
