I used to work with Craig at Boeing in Spokane. I always found him to be an intelligent, engaging and quite funny in a dry sense kind of guy. Keep up the biking Craig, I know you are enjoying your life and it's well deserved ! Bill Mills
Inspiring!!. At 36, I'm in a constant battle in my mind on what I should be doing at certain points in my life and what society puts on you to be at certain points in my life. All I know is that I love doing the things I loved doing at a teenager at 36 years old. I just don't want to grow old or let age stop what I love doing.
That was such a great piece! Love the narration by Craig himself. His feeling of calm and being grounded was perfectly captured and made me more calm just drinking in the vibe. Great Job all.
Wow, this is so awesome. What an inspiration this guy is! Keep going man, hopefully some day me and my crew will run across you in Moab.... we belly up at the bar too.👌🏼
I ran into Craig today and met him for the first time in his van at a parking lot. Immediate sense of a fellow speaking my language! We shared stories and he gave wonderful advice. I Immediately came home and looked him up and came across this video. Thank you Freehub for showcasing this, and for Craig for being his true authentic nutty self. It’s so affirming to meet sometime who gives unapologetic voice to how I’ve felt for years. The “I value my extra time over extra money” comment?!?! Oh! I’ve said that for years at my old job who was always pushing me to work overtime and they were confused why I wasn’t motivated by the money like my coworkers. Thank you Craig for being a trailblazer! You’ve got community in us if you ever are our way ❤
The best film or the best life i want to live. I've watched 5 times in a row. dreaming of the day i can pull the trigger and live the life Craig lives. Kudos!! Living your best life. Craig you're an inspiration! Thank you.
This is so friggin AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Sprinter......I work for "The Man" ....I will do this, eventually...and sooner rather than later. Better keep a bar stool open Craig, you're not the only one who likes beer. Cheers!
I wish I could give a thousand thumbs up for this small documentary on how to live life. ‘Have a lot of time and little money instead of a lot of money and little time’
Keith Savall here. Glad to see you're doing well! It took me years to get used to living alone. But I prefer it now. I still do some mountain biking but mostly hiking. Sharp stick in the eye is right across the street from where I live.
Wonderful story! I admire people who just came to ralization that life is not just going to work or doing the same thing every single day. His sentence is so much eyeopening - "I'll rather have little money and lot of time then having a lot of money and no time at all". Hats of to Craig!
Love this! I saw Craigs van years ago at a trailhead in So WA. I was inspired by his rig and his stickers. ; ). Great to see an intimate story of his adventures. Beatifully made little vid. Thank you!
This would have been a great story if he was a cool dude roaming around the country speaking for alternative lifestyles, being an ambassador for mountain biking, and trail conservation but, instead he is spreading hate towards people riding e-bikes every chance he gets. He goes out of his way to be hateful towards e-bikers riding on "HIS TRAILS" and then he goes off riding his mountain bike on illegal trail areas. I wish the camera would have captured his real personality.
Yo have to do what you have to do… and doing it well… This video is trully amazing… give’s me hope. The production it’s just awesome. Thank’s for sharing ❤
I have no words to describe all the sensations that this story, and within this story this character, has made me experience in such a short time of this fabulous video’s duration. At 39, I have been searching for over a month for a type of bike with which I can feel comfortable to embark on an adventure not similar, but aimed at being able to enjoy a life similar to the one told here. But first, there is a lot of work to do, the first and most important, knowing how to distance oneself from the slave life that we 'must' have to stay afloat. With a bit of intelligence, cunning, and good behavior towards others, I hope not too long from now to be able to live my own life, without needing to have the obligation to get up every morning to give away my time for a few pieces of paper. Like Craig Bierly, I cannot conceive a life without pedals, I was also not very good at walking with this gravity. I have been riding a bike since I was 4 years old, nothing and no one supported my path to take off. It is time to build my own airplane to go as far as one can go. Thank you for this video, for telling this story, and for being there. Thank you.
I'm sure one could spend a lifetime riding all the trails in America and not cover the same ground twice. However If Craig ever has an itch to try riding elsewhere, I'd suggest he venture North of the border. There's phenomenal trails in Canada.
Great Story, I dream of this Life Style everyday. As a carpenter I do the daily 12-13 hour grind everyday. Trying to MTB 1-2 times a month. I need to make some changes. Thanks for sharing the journey Craig!
Great show guys, hope he lives longer, I’m 70 but not as able as he is but I have my fun. I’m retired and loving life. I have a family and I’m very good with that 😊
Not sure how I discovered Craig’s blog about 10 years ago but he’s been an inspiration ever since. Hoping one day we cross paths out on the trails. Great mini-documentary, thanks Freehub and Craig!
