Bike Gear Database publishes routes, stories, GPX files, and gear reviews to inspire and inform the adventure cycling community. Many of the routes shared on this site are contributed by riders from around the world, and are hosted on our Ride With GPS account. We do not verify, edit, or update contributed GPX files, and while we’re beginning to publish our own original routes, all content is provided “as-is.”

Adventure cycling involves risk. Routes may include remote areas, changing conditions, traffic, extreme weather, limited water sources, or other hazards. We do not guarantee the safety, legality, or rideability of any route. It’s your responsibility to evaluate your own skill level, fitness, and preparation before heading out, and to confirm that any route is open and safe at the time of your ride. Always use a GPS device or navigation app and ride within your limits.

Bike Gear Database assumes no responsibility for injuries, loss, or damage of any kind that may occur as a result of using content on this site. You are responsible for your own safety, decisions, and navigation.

By using this website and the content we share, you agree to do so at your own risk.
