In this video, Kevin tackles the pile of all of his gear and works to get it all onto his bike. Bag by bag, Kevin shows you how he does it and why. Its a lot of stuff. Watch the video to see how he does it!

Kevin Frias is an avid cyclist, BIKEpacker and content creator who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Kevin spends a great deal of his time getting out on two wheels, exploring, pushing his own limits, and making it easier for others to do the same.

In his words, "My name is Kevin and I am passionate about sharing the outdoors with others! Currently, I execute that by going on adventures and sharing it on Instagram (@kevdoesinsta) and Youtube (KevDoes). I want to energize people, especially people of color, to get outside and live their best life. I was born in the Bronx, NY and never knew about the life-changing force that you get from being outside so now I want to share that with everyone, and make the face of the outdoors a few shades darker."
