My Gear

kona sutra touring bike loaded with front and rear panniers, a handlebar bag and a trunk bag

My preferred riding style is slow. I like to explore, pause and admire. Here’s the gear that helps me along the way.

Touring Bike

I ride the 2021 Kona Sutra Touring bicycle (50cm frame). The Sutra is a steel bike. I added a stem extender, installed Kona Wah Wah flat pedals and changed the bar tape.

This bicycle has recently been renamed and is now the Kona Sutra SE.

The Bags

I ride with Arkel Orca 25 and 35 L panniers. I also have the small Handlebar bag and sometimes take the Arkel Tailrider trunk bag as well.

The front rack is the Arkel Lowrider and the rear rack came stock with the bike.

I sometimes ride with the Oveja Negra Chuckbucket stem bags and pack my snacks in the Bikepacker’s Foundry StraddleBags.

Filming Gear

I film with the Insta360 One R action camera with the 1 inch and 360 mods. I recently added the GoPro Hero 10 to my action camera lineup.

I use the Sony ZV-1 to film “talking head” videos.

To improve the audio quality of my rides, I use the Rode Wireless Go microphone. I also have the Rode lavalier microphone.
