Biking is fun. Dying is not.

If you find yourself liking both then it’s time you take a look at Gravity Bolivia. A gravity assisted mountain biking excursion on the world’s most dangerous road. Almost sounds like a couch-potato-thrillseeker’s dream come true.

Hop on a Kona mountain bike with Hayes hydraulic disc brakes and Marzocchi front suspensions in addition to what roughly looks like a miner’s outfit and hit the road, if you can call it that. It looks more like a poor excuse for a backpacking trail. If you feel like reading more about it, BBC had a fantastic article on the journey.

Gravity Bolivia has 1, multiple-day and 1+ week rides. Spanning from single tracks to explorations of Bolivia, Chile and/or Peru. Sign up quickly though, we’ve read they will be paving the “road” soon. There’s a look at part of the trail you might encounter after the jump.

What this means to you: A two-wheeled masochists dream come true. Sign me up.

Cost: $55-$99 @ Gravity Bolivia

    hi Alistair, John from Alaska here. Went on ride with you in 2003 awesome! Are you ever considering doing something in Costa Rica? Would be excellent around Montverde! If you ever do, I'm your man. I remember you talking about CR and have thought about it often.
