BIKE TO FLY | 9 Days of Bikepacking and Fly Fishing Through Patagonia

About two years ago, my friend Miles Sebald decided to travel up to Dead Horse, Alaska, with his bike and ride south in one push to the opposite side of the world in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Erika and I made plans to meet up with Miles when he reached Patagonia, where we biked and fished with him for 9 days.

Bravo to this guy. He is living a freeing life. After working my ass off in an office and buying into the "American Dream". I would love to just sell all and be nomadic. Be able to see all of the wonderful places like this. Good on him for getting it done. BTW this was a badass little film and truly enjoyed watching it.

[@user-bb8tz2kq7y]

Just do it 👍👍🚴

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

I see the landscapes of my province, Chubut, and it moves me. I am from Epuyén, and this summer I saw them on the road near El Bolsón! I'm glad you enjoy this land as much as we do. You still have the Beer Trail pending, from Bariloche to El Maitén through dirt roads and countryside.

[@jmersing1]

Great film Will . Two of my three passions cycling fishing and the other being motorcycling. All three can get you away from the city and breathing fresh air. Even here in the UK you don't need to travel far to achieve that.

Great movie! I’ll have to keep up with your work!
