トレイルヘッドまで自転車で

Justin Simoni hasn’t owned a car since 2016. Tired of the constant break-ins, breakdowns, and costly repairs, Simoni decided to ditch his vehicle altogether. Living in downtown Denver, Colorado at the time, a block from Coors Field and with easy access public transportation both around the city and to go into the mountains, Simoni thought he’d be able to live just fine without a car.

These days, instead of a car, Simoni sports two bikes. One is a Salsa Journeyman, that transports him along paved and gravel roads to the trailhead, and holds its own for bikepacking and gravel racing. When the trails get a bit more burly, he turns to his Surly ECR – almost a fat bike – to help him climb the more gnarly roads. This year that included Lake Como Road, known to be one of the most dangerous back roads in Colorado, and the jeep roads of the San Juan Mountains between the town of Ouray and Burrows aid station during the Hardrock 100.

ウオー、スゴイことに気がついた

トレイルヘッドまでチャリで移動すればいいんだ!

アスファルトを走らなくても良くなる!
