Like most modern friendships, I linked up with Miles Arbour through Instagram. Miles is the one responsible for putting together a Q&A article that appeared on BIKEPACKING.com after my first six episodes here at Bikes or Death, sending a surge of new listeners my way… an article I’m still stoked about.  Miles is a writer and editor at BIKEPACKING.com, reviewing products and bikes, managing the events calendar, and directly involved with the small team that handles the site’s daily tasks. He’s also a funny dude who is just as goofy in person as he is on Instagram.  On this episode, we sit down at the 2019 Bikepacking Summit to learn more about him, van life, and his work with BIKEPACKING.com. As an added bonus, shortly after the Summit Miles came to visit me in College Station, Texas to record the intro and outro for this episode, and we debrief the Summit a little further.  We both hope you’ll get a good laugh during this episode. We sure did.
