Claire Pomykala is on the adventure of a lifetime - solo bike touring around the world. After graduating college in 2021, she embarked on a solo, self-supported adventure from Atlanta, GA to Baltimore, MD, at the age of 21. Despite her limited knowledge of bikepacking, her passion for biking and thirst for adventure fueled her journey.
Just a month after her post-graduation trip, she independently traveled to London and began a 4.5-month expedition across England, Wales, Scotland, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Monaco, and Spain during the fall and winter months. Given the inclement weather and budget constraints, she relied heavily on the Warmshowers community for support.
Claire documented her bicycle tours on Instagram, amassing a following of fellow bicycle touring enthusiasts under the handle @livingbybike on IG and TikTok.
Upon her return from Barcelona, having depleted her financial resources, she secured employment with a remote tech company in 2022, maintaining a car-free lifestyle and relying on her bicycle for transportation. She established a home in an apartment and adhered to a routine. During this period, she maximized her weekends by embarking on as many bikepacking trips as possible. She eventually took a 2.5-month unpaid leave to initiate her third and current bike tour.
