One man's quest for remote alpine adventures breeds a movement Packbiking is Greene’s ingenious way of combining all of his passions into one seamless, human-powered trip.
Words by Graham Averill Photos by Aaron Teasdale THERE’S A PICTURE OF CASEY GREENE FLOATING AROUND THE internet that looks a little ridiculous. He’s walking up rocky singletrack through an evergreen forest toting a big red backpack. A disassembled bike is strapped to that backpack, and there’s a raft rolled up and strapped to the top of the bike. Backpack, singlespeed, pack raft, sometimes an ice axe and crampons–these are the key items that Greene takes on multi-day mountain bike trips. “I’m not just a mountain biker,” Greene said from his home in Missoula, Montana. According to the Wilderness Act, it’s illegal to be in possession of a bicycle within a Wilderness area, but Greene posits an interesting question: “If that bicycle is disassembled, is it still a bicycle?

Well, one could limo-pool, depart at 2:30 p.m., or use the valet at a nearby hotel — or hail an Uber or brave freeway gridlock like an average commuter. Then there's Tom Smuts' way: bike it. The writer, who is nominated for Outstanding Drama Series with the rest of the producers of Mad Men's seventh season, will lead a 15-person bike ride to the awards ceremony.
The Television Academy has granted permission for six riders to cycle up to the carpet, a group that will include Smuts' wife, Homeland executive producer and two-time Emmy winner Meredith Stiehm. The route will run 17 miles from their Santa Monica home to the Nokia Theater in about an hour and a half, Smuts says, and forget the spandex — he will arrive in bike-friendly evening attire (pictured) by Rapha. "If we wanted to have a hundred people on bikes, the headline might have been 'one hundred assholes on bikes clog up traffic during Emmys,' " he adds.

In fact, the chance to experience the Altiplano – the Andean high plateaux – was one of my underlying motivations in planning this journey across the Americas. And I know I’m not the only one to feel its allure; the same is true for Miguel, my riding partner these last few months. And so far, Bolivia hasn’t disappointed.
