The Journal: Bike Touring with Baby on Board

On this episode we chat with Adele and Brock Dittus, whom you’ve heard on the show before! This is the adventurousy outdoorsy couple that have let us learn all about their past bike tours. You may also know Brock from back episodes of The Sprocket Podcast where he’s the current producer and host emeritus.

But here’s the thing… they had a son recently! And that kind of changed a lot of things, but they didn’t let it stop them from slapping a helmet on him and taking him out on a super bikey adventure. I think this is a trip that will get you parental types stoked to get your kids to join you on tour. Tons of great advice from Adele and Brock on this one!

The Journal: Bicycle Touring Etiquette

Thanks to a listener for this recommendation… I’ve managed to lose the email or message from social media that has it

Camping

Watch your spacing
For shared campsites, saying hello and asking if it’s cool to camp there
Assess your neighbor’s desire to chat and respect it
Don’t brag about your exploits – it’s a bad look
Be open with information that can help others, but don’t force opinions and suggestions on people
Share stuff if you have extra
Respect quiet hours
Respect late sleepers as you take off

Leave no trace

Think ahead – reduce the amount of packaging and garbage before you roll
Always have a garbage bag – doesn’t matter what it is
Pack all garbage out and even take some that’s not yours
If there are no bathroom facilities learn backcountry techniques (cat hole, etc.) and please respect water bodies.

Speed + Passing

Some trails have a speed limit – respect that, particularly in more crowded areas
Many trails and some laws require bells for passing – know before you go
Use bells or call “on your left” boldly but (please!) in a friendly way
Do it every time even if you’re frustrated that the runners are wearing headphones and don’t hear you!
It’s so easy to get frustrated, but remember we’re sharing the trails with others
Avoid lecturing other trail users, especially if you’re a visitor

Be cool

Respect boundaries with people you meet and other tourists.

Watch your consumption.

You’re an ambassador… act like one!

The Pedalshift Project 173: Stealth Camping Revisited

Stealth camping is always a hot topic in bike touring, and our last episode got some great responses that deserve revisiting! On this episode, a take from law enforcement’s perspective, tips on how to stay clean with no facilities, and more on how to find a good spot.

The Lab: Stealth Camping Revisited

More thoughts on stealth camping on bike tour (check out Pedalshift 161 for my tips)

Law enforcement perspective

Thanks for the recent episode on stealth camping. Probably no topic has the breadth of opinions among your listeners as this. Maybe pannier pronunciation.

I’ve been [in] law enforcement…for 15 years. In that role I’ve managed these types of contacts regularly. I like to apply the principles you discussed when dispersed camping on tour, but like you, avoid explicitly prohibited areas.

I wish to emphasize the safety points you made about when you are contacted (i.e. caught), especially by law enforcement. Those consequences need not be dire if you keep your head.

Whether law enforcement or private individual, keep your voice low and keep your hands visible. This is not the time to be rumaging through your equipment.

Your legal status, if you are contacted by law-enforcement, is likely “detained”. You’re not under arrest, but nor are you free to leave. This is not the time to start packing up your stuff and huffily proclaim that you’ll “just leave”. Follow the officer’s directions. Remember that he doesn’t know you from Adam or Eve, and more likely than not is going to treat you with great caution.

An officer has about 20 minutes (case law) to confirm or dispel his suspicions that you’ve committed either a civil infraction (you know, camping where camping isn’t allowed, posted or not), or trespassing. During this time you are in the same legal situation as if you’ve been pulled over by an officer for a vehicle traffic violation. Behave accordingly. You must identify yourself (at least with a verbal name and date of birth). You do not need to present a photo ID or driver’s license if it’s not a traffic offense. He may ask you questions. Remember that if he’s just investigating a civil infraction, you don’t have 5th amendment rights to not incriminate yourself with statements. Shush, because it’ll be used against you.

The consequence will vary from a warning and “OK, you can stay just tonight!”, to a criminal notice (arrest without booking) for Trespassing. In [my particular state], this… probably won’t be applied unless you’ve previously been told not to be at that location.

Another possibility to consider is that in my jurisdiction the violator can be expelled from all parks for anywhere from 48 hours to a lifetime, depending on the offense. Expulsions for 30 days are common, and can really put a bind in your travel plans down the road.

Of course, all this only applies to my jurisdiction. Your mileage may vary, as you say! The best thing you can do is make your peace with being caught ahead of time. Be comfortable with the foreseeable consequences, and you can then just relax.

PS People are going to stealth camp, might as well do it as low impact and safely as possible.

Downside of stealth camping… no facilities to clean up in!

Richard Wizensky has a solution;

On days that are light, I keep a towel and a spray bottle of witch hazel available – add a few drops of essential oil for bonus smell. The witch hazel works to kill odor producing bacteria like alcohol but doesn’t dry your skin.

Techniques for finding spots

Google maps! I use the satellite view to see where there are big clusters of trees and pick a few good spots. Going to street view can be super helpful to get the “on the ground” look and then you can go from there.

Good resource from a big time stealth camper… Douglas Conlin – YouTube channel. He’s a 100% stealth camper and did an interrupted tour from Michigan to Tennessee last year (in the winter, no less). Quite the character, but seeing how he scopes out stealth sites is a real lesson. He vlogged his trip so you can see a bunch of his camp sites. A few are bolder than what I’d choose, but that’s all personal preference.
