There is a growing trend with full time RVers downsizing to a bicycles. Experts appoint it to to the growing Class of extreme frugalists in society.
RVers are trading their huge rigs for bicycles and panniers, seeing that they can get the best parts of backpacking and cycling.
"I've had a bicycle for outdoor rides and this RV solution has been right in plain sight for decades. With the money im saving by living out a bicycle I can travel the world, and take my bicycle along!" Joe, a 32 year old ex-RV dweller says.
The RV industry is sweating bullets as dealers & shops across America see sharp drops in revenue. The fact that thousands of used RVs are flooding the market, making it hard for new converts to sell their rigs. Meanwhile bicycle, pedicab & bike trailer manufacturers see sales soaring, and custom bike fabricators are swamped with orders as some use their RV sale proceeds to have custom bicycle campers made.
Those deliberating taking the plunge are testing the water in various ways. Some lock themselves out of their rigs for days at a time, others just leave their rigs behind on weekend moves. While a few create detailed spreadsheets & perform comprehensive cost benefit analysis for living out of a bicycle.
Evangelical supporters of this lifestyle twist have already coined names for it. Bikepacking & cycledweller have made make words for this new lifestyle.
Kris Hernandez says to prospective Bikepackers to Just do it. Kris traded his RV for a bicycle a year ago, and although he's a super mooch, Is considered a pioneer to cycledwelling. "Everybody should live out of a bike, it'll transform the economy!"
Kris ends his interview with" Full time RVing can cost too much money, cycledwell instead!"
