The Solution - retirement on wheels

Imagine you're retiring and all you want to do is mountain bike. That's how Craig Bierly lives his retirement. Instead of sitting back, the now 72-year-old is pedaling his mountain bike until his precious time on earth comes to an end. "The Solution" is a beautiful story about self-determination, life in retirement, but also about fears, should the&nbspexciting times ever be over.

Almost everything in this world is for sale, except time. Craig Bierly is a man who truly understands the sacred and finite gift of time. After dedicating 26 years of his life to the aerospace industry, he could have sat back comfortably on the porch of a house.

But Bierly had other plans and opted for a nomadic life in his van long before vanlife became a hipster trend and hashtag. He gave himself two years to pedal across the United States on his mountain bike. More than a decade after his retirement, Bierly is still on the road, pursuing his dream of riding as many singletrack trails in America as he can, true to his motto "Ride what I can, walk what I need", until his own time on earth runs out.
