This is the official channel of The Bikepacking Project, a project supported by India Open Data Association (IODA). The core vision of the project is - "Observing India at a bicycle's pace" - which is a very powerful analogy. If we deconstruct it, a bicycle is ‘human powered’, ‘moves relatively slow’ but ‘helps one keep moving forward’ while ‘establishing immediate connect with strangers’. In this process, the ‘stories and experiences one collects’ are extremely powerful too.
The Bikepacking Project has been conceived with these thoughts in mind.
This project aims to find voluntary observers, who can join any of the existing three tracks or suggest a new track of observation. They can to ‘travel across the country’ and pursue their passion or just ‘remain in their own habitat’ and while collecting information of public importance that would remain open to all possible stakeholders with an intention to stimulate action.
