My name is Robbie Ferri, and I am the Bikepackist! I started cycling a decade ago when I decided that as a present for my sister’s and brother-in-law’s wedding, I would cycle from London to Paris and put a lock on the Pont Des Arts bridge (Love Lock Bridge). Spoiler, I did it in 23 hours, and it was amazing!

Since then, I have been obsessed. I have been lucky enough to cross Europe multiple times and have cycled in places such as Taiwan, Oman, and even Peru. I participate in many ultra cycling events and have even broken a couple of world records in my career. 

The Bikepackist is not just about me and my adventures. It’s about others who will be joining me, and also, we want to give anyone all the information they need so they can enjoy bikepacking as I have. You might have come across me before as I used to go by Riding With Robbie!
