The Slow Lane
Dedicated to slowly exploring the world on two wheels, Pierre Bouchard and Janick Lemieux have covered more than 250,000 KM by bike and spent 14 years in the saddle since 1990. Through a bikepacking trip in Quebec’s wilderness, The Slow Lane retraces the story of these two incredible cyclists, from the Pacific Ring of Fire to the African continent. A story of adventure, friendship, love and dedication that embodies their philosophy and unique lifestyle as they immerse themselves in dramatic landscapes.
