We aim to provide our members with resources, community, and education to have safe, confident fun bikepacking in the Missoula area and beyond.
Slow Spokes believes bikepacking should be fun, accessible, easy, and low-barrier for ALL people of ALL experience levels. We make sure there are free/low-cost ways for folks to participate in an equal capacity to those who can afford to buy their own bike/gear/food/etc.
To keep our spaces protected from these things, Slow Spokes events are NOT for cis men (unless otherwise stated). We want every individual who shows up to our events to know for sure that the misogyny/sexism they face in many other spaces will not exist here.
We are a small, volunteer-run organization and our Gear Library relies upon gear donations from generous companies and individuals.
