Transcendence // Capturing the Spirit of Mountain Biking Through Art in Northern British Columbia

The Art & Trails project brought together three artists and one author from communities across Northern British Columbia to capture the spirit of mountain bike trails and share the stories they hold. This is a story of how art and culture transcend the physical act of mountain biking to create a deeper connection to the land and its people.
