In 2015 Sarah Swallow closed her bike shop and embarked on a 5,000-mile bicycle tour on dirt roads across the U.S. Since this trip, Swallow has pursued a life and career doing what she loves to do as an adventure cyclist, route developer, event promoter, writer, consultant, and advocate. Sarah believes living and working this way is a privilege and a journey with many highs and lows, but the connections, growth opportunities, freedom, and inspiration she gains from it are worth it.
