Get off the beaten track, take a detour!
The Bifurkade is an invitation to leave the beaten path.
We imagine gravel and bikepacking adventures for those who want to explore differently.
Riding off the beaten track, taking the time to meet people, sharing the effort and the stories, and sometimes discovering yourself along the way.

Like all kids, I had a bike to go to school or to play at friends' houses. In my case, it was more of an old jalopy. I was actually very envious of my friends who had beautiful bikes.
It was only as an adult that I really started cycling, first during bike-camping holidays with an old mountain bike and old panniers, then by doing triathlon. The arrival of Gravel bikes and bikepacking equipment made me want to go on adventures, to take cycling holidays.
With Luc, we like to organise small trips to quietly discover new regions and enjoy local gastronomy.
Recently, we've started to increase the distances and challenge ourselves over longer distances, but always with a spirit of adventure, pleasure, and discovery, perhaps one day, a long-distance cycling trip.

Since I was 12, I've always ridden a bike. With my parents first, then quickly on my own to go a bit further and rack up more miles.
Always for leisure, never with a focus on performance.
Always for the enjoyment of exercising, of course, but above all, of discovering new things.
Quite quickly, cycling became my mode of transport for holidays.
Back then, we didn't talk about gravel or bikepacking; we talked about cycle touring and bike travel. From short weekends to longer trips, from region to region, the pleasure of discovery kept growing.
Discovery at a reduced speed to take the time to enjoy every moment, every place crossed, every forest, and to reconnect with oneself and with the environment.
Today, the adventure begins with the preparation itself. Delving into maps, searching for paths and small roads that will make up the ideal route is completely part of the journey.
And once on the road, pleasure takes over, even if it means taking a completely different turn!
After a few years of creating our own routes, we were eager to share our passion for cycling trips and our love for our beautiful region!
Gravel biking, bikepacking, cycling adventures...
Get off the beaten track, meet people, share experiences, and embark on a journey to discover others and yourself!
