Hi, we are Team JADE: Julian, Adie, Dave, and Eleanor—an adventure family that is obsessed with bikepacking far off the beaten path. We love the feeling of biking: a moving meditation where you’re completely open and vulnerable to the world and in return gifted incredible encounters. When our daughter was born, the Singletrailer allowed us to keep the adventures going! She’s come along for every ride from singletrack in the forests around Boston, to the Baja Divide when she was 3 years old and the Great Divide Mountain Biking Route when she was 4. Now her little brother is moving into the trailer this summer as we ride in Kyrgyzstan, the first of our training adventures as we gear up to cycle around the world as a family.
