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 my friends' houses. In my case, it was a rather old bike. I was actually very envious of my friends who had nice bikes.
It was only as an adult that I really started cycling, initially on cycle-camping holidays with an old mountain bike and panniers, and later by doing triathlons. The arrival of gravel bikes and bikepacking equipment made me want to go on adventures and take cycling holidays.
Luc and I like to organize small trips to discover new regions at a leisurely pace and enjoy the local cuisine.
Recently, we have started to increase the distances and challenge ourselves on longer distances, but always in a spirit of adventure, pleasure, and discovery; perhaps one day, a long-distance cycling trip.
Since I was 12 years old, I've always ridden a bike. With my parents, then quickly on my own to go further and cover a few more kilometers.
Always for leisure, never with a focus on performance.
Always for the pleasure of exerting oneself, of course, but above all for the pleasure of discovery.
Quite quickly, cycling became established as a means of transport for holidays.
Back then, we didn't talk about gravel or bikepacking, we talked about cycle touring and bicycle travel. From short weekends to longer trips, from region to region, the pleasure of discovery has continued to grow.
A slower pace of discovery to take the time to enjoy every moment, every place visited, every forest, and to reconnect with oneself and with the environment.
Today, the adventure begins with the preparation. Immersing oneself in maps, searching for paths and back roads that will make the ideal route is an integral part of the journey.
And once you're on the road, pleasure takes over, even if it means going completely off course!
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!
