About Pannier
Unhurried, since 2012
Pannier |ˈpanɪə|
[n.] hub for adventure cycling & bikepacking
Since 2012 we’ve journeyed from story-telling via our Journal, to retailing and hiring bikepacking & adventure cycling kit via our Shop, to now offering our own Pannier bikepacking experiences – bucket-list bikepacking expeditions and ROAMER events. Join us!
>> Stefan Amato <<
FOUNDER, BRAND & HOST
stefan[at]pannier.cc / @stefanamato
Stef started Pannier back in 2011, whilst working as an architect in London. He is the current lead at Pannier >> looking after the Pannier Shop, Journal (curating and editing trips, and submissions), and hosting / guiding our Tours and Expeditions.
Out in the field, he’ll likely be chatting about maps, ensuring each bikepacker’s bike and kit are packed properly, garnishing gnocchi, pouring drinks from great heights, swimming at any opportunity, and manning the watermelon.
Base // Castleton – Peak District, UK
Are you a seasoned bikepacker, or guide where we should definitely be offering a bikepacking trip? Or, just interested in getting involved somehow? Please get in touch with Stef – stefan@pannier.cc
“On a bicycle you go fast enough to cover a whole continent in a reasonable time and slow enough to see very many interesting things”
[Frank Van Rijn]
At the end of every trip, we kept noticing the same magical average speed, once we’d factored in added time for gnocchi-lunches, bothy-coffees and tarn swims, of course. So the The 15KPH Club is our tongue-in-cheek stamp for our Pannier pace. Sometimes it’s even less…
Old maps // Getting lost // Getting un-lost // Perfectly laid-out kit grids // Packing chaos the night before // Mug dangling // Postcards // Contour Crossing // #coffeeoutside // T H Holding // Battenberg cakes // Paved Alpine passes // Gravel travel // Groads // Cheesewheels // Watermelons // Snood-up headwinds // Shirt-flapping tailwinds // Gnocchi // Icy wild swims // Fred Wright // Alfred Wainwright // Faffing // Ferry hops // Sleeper trains // Nick Crane books // Firewood foraging // Campfire Camparis // One-pot meals // Refuge recouping // Bustling bothys // Hut slippers // Frank Patterson // 3-in-1 coffee sachets // #teaoutside // Nutella // Mocha-Pot Mornings // Every new day on the road…
