Round Trip II

Los Angeles to San Bernardino. 125 miles, 15k elevation, one day. A dedication to the bonds of endurance and exploration. Using transit infrastructure to redraw the boundaries of experience, Round Trip is a cinematic tribute to the world’s built environment and the limit of mental space. Set against the mountainous backdrop of Los Angeles, Round Trip’s journey forms a tapestry of emotion and possibility. Using ever-changing terrain and the emotional state of endurance as a canvas for storytellers and creatives, Round Trip is an ongoing exploration of the untapped landscapes reachable by bike and public transit. Made in collaboration with Attaquer and Alba Optics.

Round Trip

In early 2025 I created RoundTrip, meant to be series of cycling epics around California that are reachable by public transit. These narratives were done in collaboration with Attaquer, and unearthed public areas of California that aren’t well known, using underutilized transit to criss cross the suffocating maze of auto infrastructure. The first edition of RoundTrip was done with my best friend Noah Fairles, capturing the photos while I formulated our journeys written components.
