<p>What draws someone to spend their life chasing forgotten roads, sleeping under the stars, riding strange bicycles, and documenting the world through a camera?</p><p><br></p><p>For Tucson-based photographer, writer, and bike touring advocate Spencer Harding, those pursuits have become a way of life.</p><p><br></p><p>A longtime contributing editor and writer for The Radavist, Spencer is widely recognized throughout the cycling and bikepacking communities for his distinctive film photography, adventurous spirit, and passion for unconventional bicycles.
