Wide Path Bicycle Camper is like an Airstream for Cyclists

From a functional perspective, travel by bicycle hasn’t changed a great deal since the invention of bike racks and panniers. That is, until now. Wide Path, a creative camper company, has come out with a trailer for cyclists, merging the interests of minimalists and appreciators of extravagance alike.The brand’s tagline best introduces the bicycle camper: “simple holidays; comfortable; easy; close to nature.”

At its most basic, it’s a hard-shell bike camper that features a living space with room for up to 300 liters, or 10.6 square feet, of storage. The shelter not only serves as a small dining area for up to four people, but can also be converted into a two-person bed. With a number of optional packages — including a solar panel electrical system — explorers can choose how lavishly to live in one of the most minimalist travel categories.

Set-up does not require tools and only takes three minutes. The camper also touts windows and some insulation. Other noteworthy specs include:

  • Bed size: length 6’7″ x width 3′
  • Unfolded outside: length 9’4″ x height 5’9″ x width 3’2″
  • Folded outside: length 4’11” x height 5’9″ x width 3’2″
  • Height inside cabin: 4’8″

Before you start daydreaming about your camper-style bike tour, there are two things you should know. For starters, with a weight of around 175 pounds, this thing is heavy. In the flat terrain of Denmark, where this company is headquartered, this camper could make sense. If your goal is miles or altitude, it’s probably worth sticking to your tent and panniers because you’d quickly assume the road name of “Struggle Bus.”  Consider the following description from the company’s website: “The Wide Path Campers are not only mini RVs, but a mobile house-party easily deployed in urban, suburban, and natural spaces.”

Moving on to the second challenge, the price tag for this funmobile is not-so-minimalist. Be ready to spend around $4,800 to bring a Wide Path camper home. This option is not for the budget-minded bike tourer, rather those that fall into the more extravagant part of the spectrum.

That said, keep an eye on this Danish company. Wide Path will likely continue to improve upon this model — and hopefully the price — while they work on finding a possible distributor in the U.S. Until then, perhaps the Homie car camper will fit your bill.

Looking for adventure and culture? This city is the best in the world for urban hiking
Here's the world's #1 city for outdoor lovers
Rio de Janeiro

As an outdoor enthusiast, one of the top things I look for in a travel destination is proximity to the outdoors. I'm certainly not averse to pitching tents, but sometimes it's nice to mix in a bit of urban excitement to my travels. Sports Shoes, a UK running retail brand, just completed a study that analyzed the top urban areas for hikers on break. My personal favorite hiker-friendly city is Seattle, which squeaked in at number 12. The number one spot goes to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The winner was decided through two primary variables: the number of hikes in the area and the average rating and reviews of those hikes. This was averaged out into a hikeability score out of 100, and the only one to get a perfect score was Rio de Janeiro. With a total of 334 hikes averaging a rating of 4.8 stars, this city is officially the world's number one urban area for hikers.

Everything we know about the Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.

Capilano Bridge: A gateway to BC’s rainforest, minutes from downtown Vancouver
My guide to a perfect day at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
A pictur of the Capilano bridge surrounded by evergreens and empty

Just 15 minutes outside of downtown Vancouver, B.C., you'll find the Capilano Bridge, a 450-foot-long cedar-planked walkway placed 230 feet above the valley floor. While worth its own pilgrimage, the bridge is more than a one-hit wonder. It's one of dozens of attractions in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park's 27 acres of aerial walkways, carved totem poles, and mist-threaded rainforest. 

The coveted Park pulls off something rare: immersive, big, nature paired with all the creature comforts a visitor could want. While most people come to cross the Capilano Bridge, I opted to explore the other impressive aerial structures and bridges on site, which are equally remarkable and have fewer crowds.
