Singletrack Mind

"Singletrack Mind: Finding Wisdom & the Poetry of Life on Two Wheels" is about the spirit of mountain biking in wild places.

"Singletrack Mind" is a soulful travelogue that you can pop in your bike pack and take along on the trail. The book includes an intro and five poetic travel essays with a cover and five stunning photographs by world-renowned adventure photographer Mattias Fredriksson. We take you on a poetic and visually stunning journey from California to Croatia and beyond.
