An individual shares their journey of founding a content platform dedicated to bicycle travel, motivated by a global cycling adventure that revealed a deeper purpose. The platform aims to inspire and equip enthusiasts to engage in bicycle adventures by promoting sustainable travel. Through comprehensive guides, stories, and advice, the platform has cultivated a community interested in exploring diverse cultures and landscapes. Due to shifting commitments towards developing an eco-conscious and ethical company, the founder is considering selling the platform.
The platform includes several digital assets: a blog with 5,500 monthly page views, a YouTube channel with over 7,000 subscribers and 16,500 views in the last month, a Pinterest account with 6,000 monthly views, an inactive Facebook group, and an email list of over 3,500 subscribers. Originally launched in 2019, the platform focuses on adventure cycling niches such as bikepacking and touring. While traffic once peaked at 150,000 monthly views, it has since declined, and the founder admits to lacking in technical SEO expertise. However, they believe the platform has the potential to surpass its former success with the right skills.
The founder is open to remaining involved as the face and content creator, emphasizing their passion for the community and eagerness to discuss future opportunities for the platform. They highlight how the platform has enabled them to generate a full-time income despite not having perfect English proficiency.
